Hip arthroplasty results in high-intensity postoperative pain. To counter this, a multimodal approach (combining pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies) is recommended. The involvement of the patient and family is also suggested, but there are few examples. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of a patient and family-centered educational intervention (accompanying family member), promoting nonpharmacologic strategies, about pain relief, anxiety, and the pain-coping strategies used. The intervention took the family into consideration by recognizing its expertise, existence, experience, and need for hope. Thirty-three patients took part in this quasiexperimental study, all being accompanied by a significant other (control group [CG]: n = 17; experimental group [EG]: n = 16). The control group received conventional treatment and the experimental group received the intervention. The results show that EG members experienced less intense pain on postoperative days 2 (2.75 vs. 5.14; p=.001) and 4 (2.17 vs. 4.00; p=.01). EG members reported less anxiety (29.50 vs. 37.00; p=.041). EG members used significantly fewer negative pain-coping strategies, such as ignorance and dramatization. The results suggest that a patient and family-centered educational intervention (accompanying family member), promoting nonpharmacologic strategies, should be routinely used in combination with the multimodal approach. This combination improves pain management, lowers anxiety, and facilitates the use of positive postoperative coping strategies. (C) 2014 by the American Society for Pain Management Nursing
