The current status and influencing factors of discharge readiness of elderly patients with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction
Objective To investigate the current status of discharge readiness in elderly patients with pelvic organ prolapse(POP)undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction and analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 210 elder-ly POP patients treated in Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the study objects,and the general situation questionnaire,discharge readiness scale,discharge guidance quality scale,self-efficacy scale and family caring index were used to investigate.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative discharge readiness in elderly POP patients.Results The total score of discharge readiness of elderly POP patients with pelvic floor reconstruction was 138.98±15.56.The results of mul-tiple linear regression analysis showed that age,caregiver,POP-Q scale,pain state before discharge,length of stay,self-efficacy,quality of discharge guidance and family care were the influencing factors for discharge readiness of elderly POP pelvic floor reconstruction patients(all P<0.05).Conclusions The discharge readiness of elderly POP patients under-going pelvic floor reconstruction is at a moderate level.Elderly POP pelvic floor reconstruction patients with older age,no caregiver,severe prolapse,pain before discharge,short stay in hospital,low self-efficacy,low quality of discharge guid-ance,and low degree of family care aremore likely to be poorly prepared for discharge.
