Aim:
To investigate the current status of discharge readiness in post-surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) and analyse the influencing factors.
Design:
A cross-sectional survey.
Methods:
The study was conducted on 99 postoperative patients with OSAHS who were hospitalised in our department from October 2022 to November 2023. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Discharge Readiness Scale, the Chinese version of the Discharge Guidance Quality Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale.
Results:
The total score for discharge readiness in OSAHS post-surgical patients was 98.63 ± 9.08, with the highest scores in the dimensions of adaptive capacity (8.38 ± 0.77), anticipatory support (8.34 ± 1.21) and personal status (7.80 ± 1.10). Factors influencing discharge readiness scores included living arrangements, quality of discharge guidance, educational level and social support.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
On the day of discharge, OSAHS post-surgical patients fill in the questionnaire required by our study under the premise of informed consent.
Trial Registration:
Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) identifier: ChiCTR2600122402.
