Özet: The aim of this study was to determine some complications of total hip prothesis (THP) in the first 15 days after discharge from individual individuals. A descriptive study included 100 individuals who underwent THP surgery in orthopedic and traumatology and general surgery clinics of a university hospital and private hospital in the Aegean Region. The data of the study was made by using data collection form and complication evaluation form which was developed in accordance with the literature. In this study, when the complications developed in the first 15 days after discharge from individuals who underwent THP were evaluated; the most common cause of infection was weakness with 63% and at least 1% infection. It was statistically significant that routine nursing education was insufficient (P < 0.05). A statistically significant correlation was found between the development of complications in individuals with a higher body mass index (BMI) who underwent more THP surgeries and individuals who were overweight and obese (P < 0.05). Evaluations including the first 15 days postoperatively, which are risky for the development of complications after discharge, and determining early complications are important. In order for this period to be passed smoothly for the patient, planning of discharge trainings and monitoring of the patients were suggested.
