“…Previous studies indicate that web‐based education provided by health professionals is generally specific to patients with chronic disease (Dhillon et al, 2017; Ruland et al, 2013). Furthermore, in terms of surgery, this education has frequently involved one specific part of the operative process, and no website or study covering the entire perioperative period could be found.…”

“…New paradigms and changing guidelines have also led to changes in the approach to thyroid surgery. More thyroid surgeries are currently performed due to the rise in thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer (Dhillon et al, 2017; Kitahara & Sosa, 2016; Longbottom & Macnab, 2014). A study carried out by the Thyroid Cancer Association in 35 countries found that 84.1% of patients had not received institutional information, 63.0% had not received written information, and 92.6% had not received psychological support concerning the disease or treatment (Banach et al, 2013).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of web-based patient education on anxiety in patients scheduled for thyroid surgery. A secondary aim was to evaluate the patients' postoperative recovery outcomes.Design: This study is a randomized controlled trial. Method:The study was conducted at a university hospital in Turkey between September 2018 and May 2019 with 76 patients scheduled for thyroidectomy surgery and randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in the intervention group received web-based education, while those in the control group were given only routine care. Measurements were performed before surgery, on the day of surgery, and 1 week after discharge.Results: On the day of surgery, intervention group anxiety levels were lower than those of the control group, and the majority of early recovery parameters were significantly better in the intervention group than in the control group. One week after discharge, the intervention group patients' anxiety levels were significantly lower. Web-based education had no impact on pain, time in the operating room, readmission to the hospital after discharge, or length of hospitalization.Conclusions: Nurse-led web-based education reduced patients' anxiety regarding surgery. The results also show that it may improve postoperative early recovery.

“…Complications following surgical removal of the thyroid gland can often be life-threatening. The consequences of thyroid surgery require patients to understand the post-operative follow up and compliance (Hassan et al, 2012;Dhillon et al, 2017 ). Each patients must be equipped by enough knowledge regarding post thyroidectomy management, such knowledge are provided by the health team specially nurse (Oxford University Hospital,2018).…”

Background: About 200 to 800 million people in the world have some form of thyroid disease (Vanderpump, 2011). Aim: The current study aimed to examine the effects of health teaching handouts on patients' outcome who undergoing thyroidectomy in General Surgical Departments at Mansoura University Hospitals. Design: A quasi experimental research design was used. Setting: This study was conducted at the General Surgical Departments at Mansoura University. Subjects: Purposive sample was used and consist of forty-two patients. Tools: Assessment Questionnaire Sheet. It was consisted of three parts to measure the following; general characteristics, the past and present history, and patient knowledge about discharge care. Findings: The majority of the studied patients have poor knowledge about thyroidectomy care pre using of the health teaching handouts, whereas, more than half of the studied patients have fair knowledge about thyroidectomy care post using of the health teaching handouts. There is a highly significant relation between patient's knowledge post using health teaching handouts on thyroidectomy care. Recommendations: Simple handouts as booklets and brochures about thyroidectomy care should be developed and distributed at the surgical units. Evidence-based thyroidectomy care guidelines should be integrated in medical surgical courses curriculum for nursing students.

“…The decision to undertake TT arises when malignancy is suspected [7] after gross inspection of the gland or when gross inspection reveals degeneration of the whole gland. Nonetheless, it is imperative that the patient understands the specific challenges of the procedure during the preoperative counseling [8] so that they may be ready to accept the common complications whether transient or permanent.…”

Background: Decision to undertake total thyroidectomy when gross inspection of the gland raises suspicion of widespread degenerative changes is often intraoperative. Knowing the factors associated with intraoperative conversion to total thyroidectomy may assist preoperative counselling. This study describes the probability of conversion to total thyroidectomy and factors associated with con-version among patients hitherto planned for partial thyroidectomy. Methods: We reviewed 191 records and extracted data on patient demographics, the pre-operative radiograph findings, the weight of excised gland and the operation performed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. Receiver operator curve was used to assess for cut-off point. P-value was set at 0.05. Results: A total of 191 records was reviewed consisting of 181 females (94.8% 95% CI 90.6-97.5) and 10 males (5.2%, 95%CI 2.5-9.4). Only nodular goiters required conversion to total thyroidectomy. The over-all probability of total thyroidectomy was 11%(95% CI 7.0-16.3). The probability of total thyroidectomy in female was 10.5%(95% CI 6.4-16.9) while in male was 20%(95% CI2.5-55.6). The probability of total thyroidectomy in a female with nodular goiter was 8.1%(95% CI 4.8-13.5), compared to 28.6%(95% CI 3.7-71) in males. The risk of total thyroidectomy was associated with the weight of the excised gland. Conclusion: Only nodular goiters required intraoperative conversion to total thyroidecto-my and the probability of conversion was higher in males.
