Abstract

Patient education is effective in reducing the level of anxiety before and after surgery and increasing the level of readiness for discharge. Patient education provided by nurses can be planned and applied individually. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the education in whom a double J stent after ureteroscopy on their pre- and postoperative anxiety and levels of readiness for discharge. This research study is a randomized controlled trial with control and intervention groups, pre- and posttests. This study was conducted between November 2021 and May 2022 in a university hospital in Turkey. The patients were divided at random into two groups, control (n = 61) and intervention (n = 61). The Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I, STAI-II), Surgery-Specific Anxiety Scale (SSAS), Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Adult Patients-Short Form (RHDS/SF) and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale- Adult-Nurse Assesment Short Form (RN-RHDS/SF) were used to collect the data. The mean SSAS and STAI-I scores on the morning of surgery and before discharge were found to be significantly lower in the intervention group than the control group. The mean RHDS/SF and RN-RHDS/SF scores on the before discharge were found to be significantly higher in the intervention group than the control group. It was concluded that the education provided to the patients in whom a double J stent after ureteroscopy reduced pre- and postoperative anxiety and increased the level of readiness for discharge.
