Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of bathtub bathing and related factors 1 month after surgery among osteoarthritis patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty. Eighty-nine patients (74 women, mean age 67.2 ± 9.8 years) were followed up until 1 month after surgery, and 47 patients (52.8%) took a bath in the bathtub. Compared to those who did not bathe, those who bathed in the bathtub 1 month after surgery had significantly higher fall-related self-efficacy 2 weeks after surgery and a significantly higher rate of using the chair in the bathtub 1 month after surgery. The results of this study suggest that the implementation of bathing in the bathtub 1 month after surgery requires occupational therapy intervention to increase self-efficacy during hospitalization.
