Introduction: A fracture is a type of musculoskeletal injuries that impairs the capacity to engage in daily activities, Intertrochanteric fractures are prevalent extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur occurring at the junction of the greater and lesser trochanters.
Aims and objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of an intervention program on the activity of daily living for patients with intertrochanteric fracture, to investigate the correlation among demographic characteristics (age, gender, level of education, marital status, occupation, residence, body mass index) and activities of daily living.
Methods and Material: A quantitative approach using the a-pre-experimental study design was used for one group that applied the program by carry out of a pre and post-test approach for study sample at Mosul teaching hospital between 3rd of April 2024 until 16th of November 2024.Self-administered questionnaires are utilized to evaluated the objectives of the study. 30 patients were non-probability (purposive) sample exposure to intervention program. (SPSS) version 26, descriptive statistical are (frequency, percentages, mean of score) and inferential statistical (Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test) were applied to the data analysis.
Result: A substantial improvement in patient information was observed among sample of the study members, with a highly statistically significant result (P < 0.001), at post-test compared to pre-test.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the intervention program significantly improved patients' information in the study sample at the post-test following the program.
