Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Postoperative Intervention Educational Program	The health educational program consisted of a single training session offered by a nursing professional to each patient and caregiver. In each educational session, the following topics were addressed: objectives for functional recovery (early mobilization, recovery of functional capacity lost prior to the fracture, etc.), mobilization exercises to start the day after the surgical procedure (lower limb exercise, respiratory physiotherapy, etc.), and tips to prevent future falls. The educational session was implemented during the postoperative hospital stay, with an approximate duration of 30-45 min. The session ended with a summary of the content and comments from the patient and relative in order to ensure understanding of the program. Written information was provided on the aspects addressed in the session (brochures). These patients were treated according to routine protocols. All patients were monitored during admission, at 1 month, at 6 months, and at 1 year after the intervention
