N2 - Coxarthrosis determines a loss of functionality and autonomy in people with this problem. The placement of total hip prosthesis is one of the frequent treatments. Rehabilitation nursing is crucial for the rehabilitation of these patients. Objective: to analyse the effectiveness of a rehabilitation nursing programme, during the preoperative period, in patients undergoing total hip replacement. Methodology: a nursing rehabilitation programme was implemented, pre and postoperatively, with eight patients undergoing total hip replacement, having adopted the multiple case study methodology. Results: The implementation of a preoperative rehabilitation nursing programme contributed to the recovery of the study participants, as reflected in pain relief, improved muscle strength, range of motion of the intervened joint, balance, and reduced risk of falls and functional capacity. Conclusion: the implementation of rehabilitation nursing intervention strategies promoted the autonomy of these patients, their functional independence, and their reintegration into the community.
