1Institute of Health and Community Studies, Bournemouth University.
Abstract:
This exploratory level study attempts to identify if nurses employed in a day surgery unit of a small district general hospital assess the individual informational needs of patients in their care. Data was gathered by questionnaire, highlighting a range of significant issues, which the report concludes, produces scope for future enquiry, if day surgery is to continue to accelerate toward projected purchasing and planning targets (DoH 1996), but retain a commitment to a quality assurance agenda.
