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.
