“…The patients’ parents performed the majority of perioperative preparation and postoperative recovery at home. Because of the lack of medical resources and expertise, many parents might be stressed or anxious about home care during the perioperative period [ 6 – 8 ]. Therefore, it is essential to support the parents’ practical medical information to obtain better home care results during the perioperative period [ 9 ].…”

Objective To explore the effects of using the WeChat platform on the perioperative health education of parents of children who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Methods Participants were divided into a WeChat group and a leaflet group. Responses to relevant questionnaires and clinical data were recorded and analyzed. Results Before the operation, the scores of the Caretaker Knowledge Questionnaire in the WeChat group were significantly higher than those in the leaflet group. The scores of PSQ-18 in the WeChat group were significantly higher than those in the leaflet group. All the children in the WeChat group were followed up 1 month after discharge, while four children in the leaflet group were lost to follow-up. The rate of attrition in the leaflet group was significantly higher than that in the WeChat group. For the postoperative complications, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Perioperative health education for parents of children who undergo transthoracic device closure of VSDs through the WeChat platform can effectively enhance parents’ knowledge of care, improve parent satisfaction, which is an effective method to ensure convenient operation and reduce loss to follow-up.

“…The majority of perioperative care is conducted at home by the parents or family caregivers (Sofela, Laban, & Selway, 2013). Since the instruction received by the parents is limited due to the heavy workload of staff and time and location constraints (Sayin & Aksoy, 2012), especially in China (Yip & Hsiao, 2014), parents often experience difficulties and anxiety leading to their children's increased rate of complications and higher rate of readmissions (W. Yu et al, 2014). Clinical information, clinical outcome, and pain control after day surgery were the important factors affecting patient satisfaction during day surgery (Lemos et al, 2009).…”

Introduction: Based on the current medical environment in China, this study developed a WeChat-based health education program for parents of children undergoing day surgery herniorrhaphy and evaluated the users’ satisfaction of its usage by adapting the technology acceptance model. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative online design with a researcher-developed Satisfaction Questionnaire was used to survey 198 users in the university-affiliated hospital in China. Results: The users were generally satisfied with the program. The users living in urban areas obtained higher satisfaction (β coefficient = 1.763, p = .006). The users who were satisfied showed high intention to recommend WeChat to other parents. Discussion: In general, WeChat users found the educational program useful, and similar educational intervention can be expanded to other areas in China.

Most respondents (81%) were satisfied with the interaction in the patient education. The education resources were reported as good by 77% of respondents.
