The authors' repeated measures experimental study at a 359-bed community medical center located in California compared the effect of preadmission structured education with postadmission unstructured education on the outcomes of patient satisfaction, postoperative recovery, and return to functional status. Power analysis for a large effect size was used to determine the sample size of 50 adult females scheduled for open abdominal surgery. The authors used valid and reliable tools to measure the dependent variables and their findings suggest that same-day admission surgical patients who receive preadmission structured education have improved clinical outcomes, are more satisfied, are more likely to meet the targeted discharge date, and return to prior functional status sooner.
作者在加利福尼亚州一家拥有359张床位的社区医疗中心进行的重复测量实验研究，比较了入院前结构化教育与入院后非结构化教育对患者满意度、术后恢复及功能状态恢复结果的影响。针对大效应量进行的功效分析用于确定计划接受开腹手术的50名成年女性的样本量。作者使用了有效且可靠的工具来测量因变量，其研究结果表明，接受入院前结构化教育的当日入院手术患者临床结局得到改善，满意度更高，更有可能达到目标出院日期，且能更快恢复到先前的功能状态。
