dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of an increased perioperative communication program (IPCP) in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on early postoperative outcomes. Design: A randomized controlled trial design was employed. Methods: This study was conducted with a total of 70 patients with TKA, 35 in the intervention group (IG) and 35 in the control group (CG). Eligible TKA patients were randomly allocated to IG and CG, respectively. While patients in the CG received routine perioperative care, patients in the IG were included in IPCP. All patients were followed for one month after discharge. Findings: The level of postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, postoperative early complications, and unplanned readmission rate was significantly reduced in the IG compared with the CG. Conclusions: IPCP was a useful, satisfactory intervention and kept patients better informed. Results support that postoperative complications in TKA patients may be reduced with a well-designed preoperative preparation process, sustainable communication, and postdischarge follow-up. © 2025 The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses
