“…Patients referred to day surgery might be in a particularly vulnerable situation due to the shortage of time for pre-surgery preparation and information, and limited time for communication with the hospital staff before being discharged. 2 Therefore, relevant information available on the Internet may be particularly advantageous for this patient group. An important condition is, however, that the patient can acquire, understand, and benefit from the information.…”

“…Besides the incentives to increase efficiency and reduce costs associated with expensive hospital stays, day surgery has been shown to prevent postoperative complications as a result of hospitalization, and this form of treatment is often the patients' own preference. 1,2 Day surgery is found to enhance patient satisfaction and have less impacts on their families' daily life and routines. 3 Patients undergoing day surgery are normally discharged from the hospital on the same day after the operation.…”

“…Due to the rapid process and lack of time when undergoing day surgery, one of the challenges is that the patients do not receive enough information about the surgery. 2 Insufficient information may affect the patients in negative ways, such as anxiety and stress before the surgery, and pain and other complications in the recovery phase. 2 Patients who experience less stress and anxiety preoperatively may have less pain and better recovery and healing after the surgery.…”

Background and Aim: In order to assess patients' ability to search, understand, and benefit from Internet-based information, several screening tools have been developed. One of these tools, which has been widely used, is the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). The aim of this study was to examine the measurement properties of the Norwegian version of the eHEALS, as it was used in a group of patients undergoing day surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 119 patients scheduled for day surgical treatment in a Norwegian hospital. The questionnaire included the screening tool eHEALS, which contains 8 items for assessing a person's information awareness skills, information seeking skills, and skills to evaluate and act based on the information. Cronbach's alpha coefficients and item-total correlations were assessed for estimating reliability of the eHEALS. Exploratory factor analysis with Oblimin rotation was used for assessing the validity of the scale. Eigenvalue was set to 1.0. Results: A Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.89 for the total scale, values >0.82 for Alpha if Item Deleted, and moderate to high item-total correlations supported the homogeneity and internal consistency of the scale. A two-component solution explained a total of 74.8% of the variance, with the first component explaining 59.53% of the variance in the scale and included the items reflecting information awareness and seeking. The second component explained 15.23% of the variance, including items reflecting the ability to evaluate and act. Conclusion: The reliability of the Norwegian version of eHEALS, used in a group of patients undergoing day surgery, was good. The internal structure, with two distinct factors, is in line with several previous studies. The eHEALS appears to be an appropriate tool for assessing eHealth literacy among this patient group.

“…In our clinical practice, however, it seems that patients are not very satisfied with our perioperative teaching work, with only 41.8% of patients reporting that they were satisfied with the information they received. In a study by Alacadag and Cilingir,11 patients argued that they received less knowledge than they felt they expected about the day surgery process before the actual surgery. One of the reasons was limited time for staff to communicate to the patients preoperatively.…”

Purpose The development of day surgery in China is still in its infancy. The aim of this study is to examine the difference in perception between patients and medical staff about day surgery and to find out what kind of information should be delivered to patients perioperatively. Methods The study was designed as a cross-sectional study using survey questionnaires. Patients undergoing day surgery and medical staff working in the day surgery center received a preoperative teaching questionnaire (PTQ). The PTQ consisted of preoperative, operative, postoperative and anesthesia information. Participants were asked to rate accurately what day surgery information they perceived as important on a five-point Likert-type scale that ranged from very important to not important. The main outcome was the value patients and staff place on perioperative information. Results For patients, details of anesthesia (82.6%) was the most important day surgery information, while for medical staff, preoperative (58.1%), postoperative (60.7%) and anesthesia (60.0%) information were of the same importance. Patients ranked surgery effect (83.3%) and pain management (82.5%) as two of the top five most important details about day surgery, but these were not listed in the top 5 rankings of staff. Student’s t -test results of mean rankings also showed that patients placed more importance on surgery effect (4.8±0.6, 4.6±0.6, P =0.036) and pain management (4.8±0.5, 4.5±0.5, P =0.031) than the medical staff did. Conclusion In China, day surgery is an emerging practice with both patients and medical practitioners still lacking experience, so high-quality perioperative teaching is necessary and important. Our study examining patients and staffs’ views on day surgery information should be considered when developing perioperative teaching programs. To increase patient satisfaction of the day surgery experience, delivery of patient-specific information tailored to individual circumstances is necessary.

Purpose: Assess the impact of planned discharge education and telephone follow-up of patients who underwent cataract surgery on daily living activities. Design: A controlled comparative study. Methods: This study was carried out on patients who underwent cataract surgery (intervention group ¼ 72, control group ¼ 72). Discharge education designed according to the Model of Living was used in the intervention group. Phone follow up was performed for both groups after surgery and activities were assessed. Findings: Significant differences were found between the two groups in applying eye drops, knowledge on using old eye glasses and protecting the operated eye, conditions requiring a physician call, conditions that may deteriorate the operated eye, personal hygiene, mobilization, and sleeping (P < .05). Conclusions: Using a Model of Living in discharge education of cataract patients and following up using a structured checklist was an effective intervention. This model can be efficiently used in postoperative education of day surgery patients.
