Abstract：Objective To explore the correlation between early ambulation and social relationship quality and activation in elderly patients with hip injuries.Methods A total of 206 elderly patients with hip joint injury admitted to Hefei Second People's Hospital from August 2022 to August 2025 were selected.The Early Ambulation Level Scoring Method,Social Relationship Quality Scale,and Activation Scale were used to evaluate the patients'early ambulation,social relationship quality,and activation respectively.According to the ambulation scores,the patients were divided into three groups:the low-level group(23 cases),the medium-level group(146 cases),and the high-level group(37 cases).The social relationship quality and activation scores of the three groups were compared,and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between early ambulation level and social relationship quality,as well as between early ambulation level and activation.Results The score of early ambulation in 206 patients was(6.13±1.57)points.The total score of social relationship quality and the total score of activation were(52.66±5.19)points and(60.96±6.82)points,respectively.The scores of family commitment,family cohesion,friendship,and total social relationship quality in the high-activity group and medium-activity group were significantly higher than those in the low-activity group(P<0.05);the scores of family commitment,family cohesion,friendship,and total social relationship quality in the high-activity group were significantly higher than those in the medium-activity group(P<0.05).The scores of awareness,behavior,belief,cognition,and total activation in the high-activity group and medium-activity group were significantly higher than those in the low-activity group(P<0.05);the scores of awareness,behavior,belief,cognition,and total activation in the high-activity group were significantly higher than those in the medium-activity group(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of ambulation was positively correlated with the scores of family commitment,family cohesion,friendship,and the total score of social relationship quality(r=0.492,0.511,0.502,0.365,P<0.05);the level of ambulation was positively correlated with the scores of awareness,behavior,belief,cognition,and the total score of activation(r=0.473,0.632,0.537,0.462,0.634,P<0.05).Conclusion The early ambulation,social relationship quality and activation in elderly patients with hip injuries are at medium levels.Early ambulation is positively associated with social relationship quality and activation.Improving the social relationship quality and activation of patients may help to enhance the level of early ambulation.
