Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Teach-Back health education combined with continuity care in patients with knee joint training injuries. Methods: A total of 210 patients with knee joint training injuries admitted to our hospital from May 2023 to August 2024 were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (105 cases each) using a random number table.The control group received routine care, while the observation group received Teach-Back health education combined with continuity care. Outcomes, including the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and postoperative complication rates, were compared between the two groups before and 2 months after intervention. Results: At 2 months postintervention, both groups showed significant improvements in HSS, GQOLI-74, and HPLP-II scores compared to baseline (P < 0.05), with the observation group outperforming the control group (P < 0.05). At 2 weeks post-intervention, the observation group exhibited lower STAI scores than the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications (deep vein thrombosis, joint stiffness, pressure injuries, and infections) was significantly lower in the observation group (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Teach-Back health education combined with continuity care effectively promotes functional recovery, improves quality of life and psychological well-being, enhances healthpromoting behaviors, and reduces postoperative complications in patients with knee joint training injuries. This approach holds significant clinical value for accelerating rehabilitation and maintaining military readiness.
