Abstract
Purpose
This study was conducted to investigate the care perception and learning needs of
patients undergoing day surgery.
Design
A descriptive and cross-sectional model was used.
Methods
The study was conducted with 234 patients who underwent day surgery in a general surgery
clinic of a university hospital. Data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics
form, the Patient Perception of Hospital Experience with Nursing Scale (PPHEN) and
the Patient Learning Needs Scale (PLNS).
Findings
The PPHEN mean score was 67.99 ± 11.98 and the PLNS total score was 211.15 ± 38.49.
The subscales showed that the highest scores were 38.47 ± 6.93 for activities of life,
while the lowest score was 20.60 ± 4.23 for feelings related to condition. There was
a statistically significant negative correlation in the PPHEN and PLNS subscales in
terms of medications, activities of living, treatment, and complications. There was
no statistically significant relationship between the demographic data of the patients
(age, gender, and educational status).
Conclusions
This study demonstrated that patients had high information needs and greater concerns,
particularly about “activities of life.” Nurses should be aware of the importance
of identifying high learning needs to increase the level of satisfaction with nursing
care in day surgery patients.
