Construction of discharge preparation service for patients undergoing cataract day surgery based on evidence and its empirical application.

OBJECTIVE

Evidence-based development and empirical application of a discharge preparation service program for cataract day surgery patients.

METHODS

Evidence-based construction of a discharge preparation service programme for cataract day surgery patients. Using the convenience sampling method, 84 patients undergoing cataract day surgery in July-August 2024 were divided into a control group and an intervention group; Comparing the level of readiness for hospital discharge, quality of discharge teaching, caregiver preparedness, patients' ability to self-care, complication rate and unplanned readmission rate 1 month post-discharge between the two groups.

RESULTS

The intervention group scored higher than the control group in terms of readiness for hospital discharge, quality of discharge teaching, caregiver readiness, and patient self-care ability (P < 0.05), but the differences in post-discharge complications and unplanned readmissions were not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

Evidence-based construction of a discharge preparation service programme for cataract day surgery patients has good practical value.
