Introduction
fracture
Hip fracture is a serious injury for older people.People have frequently experienced poor recovery following hip fracture.People after hip fracture who return home often need help. This ranges from assistance with personal activities of daily living (ADLs) such as toileting, washing, dressing and eating, to more complex tasks such as managing money, shopping and household chores.While informal caregivers may be willing to support their friend/family member, they frequently feel underskilled, and have low confidence to do so.This study aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic, multicentre, randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the clinical and cost-effectiveness of an informal caregiver training programme to support the recovery of people following hip fracture surgery.
