Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Surgical Care
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Adequate pre-operative instructions are crucial for reducing patient anxiety and post-operative complications.
  • Existing research indicates a gap between nurses' perceptions and patients' actual pre-operative needs.
  • Effective pre-operative teaching enhances patient engagement in their healthcare journey.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how surgical ward nurses organize and deliver pre-operative teaching.
  • To identify the challenges faced by nurses during pre-operative patient education.
  • To provide insights into current pre-operative teaching practices in surgical wards.

Main Methods:

  • A case study approach was employed to investigate the practices of surgical ward nurses.
  • Qualitative exploration of how nurses conduct pre-operative teaching.
  • Analysis of factors influencing the organization and implementation of pre-operative teaching.

Main Results:

  • Nurses' professional training significantly impacts their approach to pre-operative teaching.
  • Rote learning methods are prevalent in current pre-operative education delivery.
  • The timing of patient admissions affects the nurses' ability to provide comprehensive pre-operative instructions.
  • Identified discrepancies between perceived and actual patient needs in pre-operative care.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses' training, reliance on rote learning, and admission timing are key factors influencing pre-operative teaching effectiveness.
  • Addressing these identified challenges can optimize pre-operative patient education strategies.
  • This study serves as a reflective tool for nurses to enhance their pre-operative teaching practices.
