“…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.…”

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.

“…Patients elected for day surgery have rarely made the choice themselves. In an Irish survey, only 16% of the elected patients had chosen day surgery (6). Patients in several studies reported satisfaction with efficiency, and that they would choose day surgery again, if necessary (6–8).…”

Although caregivers were considered primarily to be friendly, patients reported feeling objectivised by the fast‐tracking involved in day surgery (6, 9). A systematic review in 2006 identified several factors that patients found important for experiencing satisfaction with day surgery, such as preadmission contact; provision of relevant, specific education and information; physical presence of significant others throughout the continuation of care; and effective communication (10).…”

“…A systematic review in 2006 identified several factors that patients found important for experiencing satisfaction with day surgery, such as preadmission contact; provision of relevant, specific education and information; physical presence of significant others throughout the continuation of care; and effective communication (10). Despite this knowledge, 3% of the patients ( n = 98) in a 2016 survey reported that they had not received any written information about procedures prior to surgery, and 20% did not receive or did not remember receiving written information postoperatively (6). Furthermore, a qualitative study found that patients experienced perioperative information intended to support them in postdischarge self‐management to be vague and insufficient (9).…”

Introduction An increasing share of surgical activity is organised as day surgery, thus giving more responsibility for care to patients and their next of kin. Purpose To obtain increased understanding of orthopaedic day surgery patients’ experiences with self‐management. Methods A descriptive interview study. Eleven men and five women aged 18–78 years, who had undergone arthroscopic knee surgery in rural Norway participated in qualitative individual interviews during autumn 2018. Systematic text condensation was used as analysis strategy. Results The main theme a planned but vulnerable pathway towards self‐management and five subthemes were highlighted. The interviewees were satisfied with most aspects of the day surgery. However, challenges in adapting oral and written information to self‐management postdischarge, a need for further self‐management support at home, and strenuous travel increased the strain. Conclusion The written and oral information and support that was planned and provided by the hospital did not meet the patients’ needs for self‐management support postdischarge. The day surgery care pathway seemed to lack effective educational interventions for strengthening the patients’ self‐efficacy and control and to have potential for improvements.
