The aim of this study was to analyse the pre-admission booklets currently being sent to patients awaiting admission for surgery. Content analysis of the booklets reveals that many districts fail to include the types of information shown in the literature to be of most relevance and benefit to patients. An objective assessment of readability indicates that over half the booklets are fairly difficult or difficult to read. The study highlights the need to revise the information content and readability of many of the pre-admission booklets currently being dispatched to prospective patients.
本研究的目的是分析目前发送给等待手术入院患者的入院前手册。对手册的内容分析表明，许多地区未纳入文献中显示的对患者最相关且最有益的信息类型。对可读性的客观评估表明，超过一半的手册阅读起来相当困难或非常困难。该研究强调需要修订目前分发给准患者的许多入院前手册的信息内容和可读性。
