Therefore, it is important for patients to understand the nursing measures that can help prevent orthostatic hypotension, as well as the risk of falling associated with total hip replacement. Aim: Evaluate the effect of nursing measures on orthostatic hypotension and risk of falling for patients after total hip replacement surgery. Research design: A quasi-experimental research design. Sample: A purposive sample of 60 patients who undergoing Total Hip Replacement. Setting: orthopedic department, trauma unit and its outpatient clinics at Assiut University hospital. Tools: Tool I; Patient assessment sheet, Tool II; Morse Fall Scale, Tool III; Orthostatic vital signs AfterResults:toms grading scale.Tool IV; Orthostatic sympmeasurement, and implementing nursing measures, the mean value of orthostatic vital signs and orthostatic symptoms was improved among the study group more than the control group with p value = 0.0001 as well as there were statistically significant n the studied groups about the risk of falling with p value=differences betwee Compared to the control group, the study group showedConclusion:.0.001 statistically significant improvements in orthostatic hypotension and fall risk following nursing measures. Recommendations: Replication of this study in multicenter trials with broader participant demographics. | ||||
