Official title

Determination of Factors Affecting Social Participation and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Video-Based Physiotherapy Awareness Education in Adults With Hand Injuries.

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the factors affecting social participation in adult patients with hand injuries and to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based physiotherapy awareness education in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a short, video-based physiotherapy education increase the knowledge and awareness levels of patients with hand injuries? What are the primary factors (body functions and activity limitations) that restrict the social participation of these patients? Participants will: Complete baseline assessments including a sociodemographic form, the Quick-DASH questionnaire, and custom participation and awareness forms. Receive a 10-15 minute video-supported education session from physiotherapists covering home strategies, exercises, and assistive devices. Complete the knowledge and awareness test again immediately after the education session to measure acute changes.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Video-Based Physiotherapy Awareness Education
    A 10-15 minute video-supported education session provided by physiotherapists. The content includes visual and verbal materials based on current literature regarding the role of the physiotherapist in hand injuries, simple strategies applicable at home and in the community, home exercises, and assistive devices.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in Knowledge and Awareness Levels [Time frame: Baseline (pre-education) and immediately post-education (after the 10-15 minute session)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Activity Limitation [Time frame: Baseline (pre-education)]
  • Social Participation Barriers [Time frame: Baseline (pre-education)]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults between 18 and 65 years of age.
  • Patients requiring rehabilitation after fractures, tendon injuries, or carpal tunnel syndrome surgery in the hand region.
  • Patients who have started physical therapy sessions for the first time within the last 6 months with these diagnoses.
  • Individuals with sufficient cognitive ability to answer the questionnaires independently.

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals with cognitive impairment or communication barriers (such as severe vision or hearing loss) that would prevent them from following the questionnaire and educational content.
