Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of arthritis affecting people of older age. The study assessed the effectiveness of nurse-led intervention on quality of life (QOL) of patients with KOA. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group research design was adopted. Data was collected from 200 patients with KOA. The pre- and post-interventional QOL were assessed on the 15th day, 30th day, 60th day, and 90th day with a 36-item short-form health survey. A remarkable statistically significant improvement in QOL of patients with KOA in the study group was found in the IV test conducted on the 90th day (P <.001). The study concluded that a 12 weeks’ nurse-led intervention has resulted in significant improvement in the QOL of patients with KOA.
