Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe the self-care activities employed by ambulatory surgical patients experiencing new-onset PDNV after discharge.
  • To provide a foundation for enhanced patient education regarding PDNV management.
  • To guide future research directions in PDNV care.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive study of PDNV.
  • Qualitative description of patient self-care behaviors.
