    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Nursing
    • Amputee Care
    • Healthcare Program Analysis

    Background:

    • Inpatient amputee programs require specialized nursing care.
    • Understanding common nursing diagnoses and interventions is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (SRH) aimed to evaluate its inpatient amputee program.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a descriptive analysis of an inpatient amputee program at SRH.
    • To identify common nursing diagnoses and interventions for lower-extremity amputees.
    • To assess the program's effectiveness in improving patient functional status.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 96 inpatient lower-extremity amputees.
    • Data collected from October 1988 to September 1989.
