Nursing discharge assessment of the patient post-inguinal herniorrhaphy in the ambulatory surgery setting
Abstract:
Nursing discharge assessment and patient discomfort and complications after ambulatory inguinal herniorrhaphy were studied. Of 70 patients, 40 were contacted by telephone the first postoperative day at home. On postoperative day 1, 14 patients experienced discomfort and negative feelings of well-being such as pain and nausea. However, most patients (N = 38) reported that they had "felt well" or "quite well." The results show that the nursing assessment of patient postoperative condition is satisfactory in the immediate postoperative period. The telephone follow-up was appreciated by the patients, and it also brought new possibilities of evaluating the quality of nursing care.
