Quality of Life and Rehabilitation in Patients with Total Hip Replacement // Рехабилитация и качество на живот при тазобедрено ендопротезирани пациенти

This thesis examines the problems of rehabilitation after hip arthroplasty, following the principles of a holistic, patient-centred approach to health and disease, and the possibilities of assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation, emphasising the patient's self-assessment in terms of its impact on all spheres of life. The thesis aims to monitor the quality of life before and after an individual rehabilitation program carried out in a hospital environment within a 7-day stay in the Department of Rehabilitation at St. Marina University Hospital – Varna. The representative sample was formed from a heterogeneous group of multimorbid patients (72 in number) in different stages of rehabilitation after endoprosthesis. The study's results reveal the positive dynamics of the biopsychosocial aspects of life after the applied individual rehabilitation program. The correlation of rehabilitation with quality of life is expressed in the patient's self-assessment of the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures. Although the functional assessment carried out by medical specialists reflects the change in the physical aspects of health and life, the main goal of rehabilitation is the positive dynamics in the bio-psycho-social spheres.
