This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experiment to determine the effect of the education given by the Physiological Mode of Roy Adaptation Model in patients with hip or knee arthroplasty on physical adaptation and mobility.
The research was conducted between 01.11.2017 - 01.04.2018 at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Surgery Service of a private University Hospital in Istanbul. In the study, the number of samples to be taken; the training, the training group control group mobility scale scores between The Observer at least 5% of the study considering that would make a difference, and power 80%, α=0.05 and power analysis adopted by participants for each group were calculated and it was determined that there should be at least 27. The sample was composed of 78 individuals 41 experimental and 37 control. Patients' physical adaptation and mobility were evaluated using the Patient Mobility Scale and Observer Mobility Scale and Physical Adaptation Assessment Form. Randomization of the study was achieved by planning patients who met the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria for training and control groups sequentially, without dividing them into hip or knee arthroplasty. In the randomization table, those with the number 1 are assigned to the training group.

Weight
weight in kilograms. It was used to determine the body mass index.
Time frame: 5 days
height
height in meters. it was used to determine the body mass index.
Time frame: 5 days
Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared.
Time frame: 5 days
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure
Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It was used to determine the blood pressure of patients before mobilization.
Time frame: 5 days
The Observer Mobility Scale
1 point indicates that the activity can be performed independently without verbal warning and physical assistance, 5 points indicate that the patient cannot perform the activity independently despite the verbal warning and physical assistance. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 4 and the highest score is 20.
Time frame: 5 days
The Patient Mobility Scale
As a scale score, 1 indicates that the patient has no pain during the activity and the level of difficulty when moving is minimal, while 5 indicates that the patient's pain during the activity is unbearable and the level of difficulty is greatest. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 8 and the highest score is 40.
Time frame: 5 days
