Exploring older adults' perceptions of a patient-centered education manual for hip fracture recovery: "everything in one place".

Purpose: To describe older adults' perspectives on a new patient education manual for the recovery process after hip fracture.

Materials And Methods: The Fracture Recovery for Seniors at Home (FReSH) Start manual is an evidence-based manual for older adults with fall-related hip fracture. The manual aims to support the transition from hospital to home by facilitating self-management of the recovery process.

Back to the future - feasibility of recruitment and retention to patient education and telephone follow-up after hip fracture: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Our primary aim of this pilot study was to test feasibility of the planned design, the interventions (education plus telephone coaching), and the outcome measures, and to facilitate a power calculation for a future randomized controlled trial to improve adherence to recovery goals following hip fracture.

Design: This is a parallel 1:1 randomized controlled feasibility study.

Setting: The study was conducted in a teaching hospital in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
