Patients' and nurses' knowledge and understanding of laparoscopic surgeryBhagirathee, Pravina Devi January 1900 (has links)
A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to establish professional nurses’ and
patients’ knowledge and understanding of laparoscopic surgery and to determine
whether nurses are sufficiently knowledgeable to disseminate adequate information
about laparoscopic surgery to patients. Two state hospitals based in KwaZulu-Natal
where laparoscopic surgery is done were selected and the respondents were selected
through convenience sampling. Data were collected by administering questionnaires to
theatre nurses (n=39), ward nurses (n=87) and patients (n=42) scheduled for
laparoscopic surgery.
The SPSS version 15 for Windows was used to compute the results. The findings
revealed that the professional nurses were not sufficiently knowledgeable about
laparoscopic surgery to give adequate information to patients and the patients
themselves were not fully informed about all aspects of laparoscopic surgery including
the possibility of conversion to open surgery, complications and advantages and after
care. There is therefore a dire need for improvement of patient education to assist
patients gaining optimal recovery / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Pre-operative health education for patients undergoing cardiac surgeryMeyer, Karien 30 June 2006 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a pre-operative health education programme provided to cardiac surgery patients at a private hospital in Gauteng.
A questionnaire was used to collect data and indicated that most patients were satisfied with the pre-operative education that they received before their cardiac surgery procedure, and therefore felt well prepared for the operation.
It is, however, evident that family involvement with pre-operative education was not satisfactory. This lack of family involvement is a limitation in the present programme. The study also noted that patients must be informed about visiting hours, and the intense feeling of the endotracheal tube post-operatively should be emphasised. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Pre-operative patient education for patients undergoing kidney transplant as viewed by nephrology nursesMaake, Pauline Mmaletshabo 04 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the views of nephrology nurses regarding pre-operative education prior to kidney transplant. The study was conducted in Nephrology Ward in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Qualitative descriptive design was used. Purposive non-probability sampling was used until data saturation occurred. Target population were registered nurses working in the Nephrology Unit. Both male and female nurses aged between 25 and 59 years working for a period of at least one year in the Nephrology Unit were included in the study. Data saturation was reached after interviewing 15 nephrology nurses. Themes and categories emerged from adopting Creswell’s (2013) “data analysis spiral”. Some of the key findings were that pre-operative patient education is a multidisciplinary team approach and that psychosocial aspects of the patients should be taken into consideration before educating the patients. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were also made from findings of this study. Ultimately, key recommendations were that there is a need to train and empower nurses in importance of delivering pre-operative education and that expatriate nurses have access to Arabic speakers to overcome language barriers while educating the patients / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
