Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current status of discharge readiness in patients after surgery for acute aortic dissection,analyze its influencing factors,and explore its correlation with the quality of life after discharge. Methods By the convenient sampling method,patients with acute aortic dissection who underwent emergency surgery in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery of a Grade Ⅲ Class A hospital in Hebei Province from January 2024 to March 2025 were selected as the research subjects. A general information questionnaire,Discharge Readiness Scale and Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale were used to conduct investigations on the patients within 24 hours before discharge. Short Form Health Survey Scale was adopted to evaluate the patients’ quality of life via telephone follow-up at 30 days and 90 days after discharge. Results A total of 206 patients were enrolled in the study,with the discharge readiness score of(166.84 ± 31.29),the average score of(7.58±1.42)points,indicating a moderate level of readiness. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level,quality of discharge teaching and surgical method were the influencing factors of discharge readiness(P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that discharge readiness was positively correlated with the quality of life at 30 days and 90 days after discharge(P<0.05). Conclusion The discharge readiness of patients after surgery for acute aortic dissection needs to be improved,which is affected by educational level,quality of discharge teaching and surgical method. Improving patients’ discharge readiness is conducive to enhancing their quality of life after discharge.
