Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Surgical Care
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Day surgery has decreased patient contact time but not the need for comprehensive care planning.
  • Increased responsibility for postoperative care has shifted to patients and their families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a preoperative assessment plan for day surgery patients.
  • To ensure consistent patient assessment, problem identification, and intervention.
  • To support patients and families in assuming greater postoperative care responsibilities.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a structured preoperative assessment and documentation system.
  • Focus on needs specific to day surgery patients.
  • Integration of patient and family education for enhanced self-care.
