Effect of forward extension and backward extension service on hospital discharge readiness of patients undergoing day ophthalmic surgery
Objective To investigates the effect of forward extension and backward extension service on the discharge readiness of patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery,aiming to ensure their safety after dis-charge and provide a reference for developing post-discharge care plans for ophthalmic day surgery patients.Methods A total of 136 patients who underwent ophthalmic day surgery at a hospital from May to August 2023 were selected.Among them,a total of 71 patients who underwent surgery and participated in the survey in May and June were assigned to the control group,while 65 patients who underwent surgery and participated in the survey in July and August were assigned to the observation group.In addition to routine discharge in-structions,the observation group received forward extension and backward extension service.The discharge readiness and satisfaction of patients in both groups were compared.Results In terms of discharge readiness,preparedness for self-condition,preparedness for disease knowledge,preparedness for post-discharge coping a-bility,and preparedness for social support,the patients in the observation group showed significant improve-ment compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The observation group also exhibited significantly higher satisfaction levels in terms of health education and nursing work,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Forward extension and backward extension service can significantly improve the discharge readiness and satisfaction of patients undergoing ophthalmic day sur-gery.
