RESUMO
Objective To understand the readiness for hospital discharge of the day surgery patients of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A total of 129 children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome during the day surgery were investigated with a general data questionnaire and an adapted discharge preparation metric. Results The total score of the readiness for hospital discharge was 166.38±30.93. The scores of discharge in all dimensions from high to low were adaptive ability 8.35 ± 1.80, expected support 8.17 ± 1.70, knowledge status 7.35 ± 2.10, and personal status 7.10 ± 1.43. Multiple linear regression results showed that the difficulty of caring for children from parents had a significant effect on the readiness of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome during day surgery (P<0.01). Conclusions The discharge readiness of children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome during day surgery was at the upper-middle level, but their personal status was not good. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to health guidance for parents of children with disease-related knowledge, do a good job of interpretation before discharge, help parents increase their confidence in caring for children after discharge, improve the level of preparation for discharge, and ensure the safety of children after discharge.
