Expectations and experiences of patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total joint arthroplasty: An integrative review

ConclusionThis review is the first to capture the osteoarthritic patients' educational needs from their perspectives. The biopsychosocial model can address the multidimensionality (biological, psychological, and social) of patients' educational needs. A robust infrastructure supporting interprofessional collaborative practice and continuity of care should be adopted to enhance current educational efforts.
