Summary

Parents achieved over 80% on posttests after nurses provided perioperative teaching. This highlights the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions and the need for both written and verbal patient education in ambulatory surgery settings.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Patient Education
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Effective patient education is crucial for successful postoperative care and recovery.
  • Parental understanding of surgical procedures and home care is vital in pediatric ambulatory surgery.
  • Current teaching protocols may require enhancement to meet parental needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a perioperative teaching intervention delivered by nurses.
  • To determine if parents achieve a specific knowledge score post-intervention.
  • To gather parent feedback on the preferred methods of instruction.

Main Methods:

  • A perioperative teaching intervention was implemented by nurses in an ambulatory surgery unit.
  • Post-intervention testing was administered to assess parental knowledge.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Parental feedback regarding the teaching methods was collected.

    • Main Results:

    • Parents scored greater than 80% on posttests following the nursing intervention.
    • Parental feedback indicated a need for both written and verbal instructions.
    • Limitations included a small control sample and uncontrolled teaching sheet presence.

    Conclusions:

    • Perioperative teaching by nurses significantly improves parental understanding of postoperative care.
    • A combination of written and verbal instructions is preferred by parents.
    • Findings support adapting this model to evaluate and improve nursing teaching protocols.
