Abstract

Background: Preoperative education is reported to be effective in improving postoperative outcomes and patients' satisfaction. Hence, this study was designed to estimate the impact of preoperative education programme on postoperative outcomes and patients' satisfaction in patients undergoing visceral organ surgery. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was designed wherein 100 patients who were admitted for elective visceral organ surgery were divided randomly in intervention (50) and control group (50). Intervention group received preoperative education based on patient centered communication by trained nurses. Patients’ satisfaction, postoperative complications and length of stay in hospital were measured. Results: Satisfaction scores were greater for intervention group. Post-operative complications and length of hospital stay were lesser for intervention group as compared to the comparison group. Conclusions: Preoperative education increases satisfaction of patients undergoing surgery and can reduce postoperative complications and ICU stays in surgical patients.
