Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery is one of the rapidly expanding fields of surgery. Since Eric Muhe’s first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in 1985, it has become the gold standard of treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis.The reasons behind the increasing number of laparoscopic surgeries are improved postoperative pain and improved healing time as compared to open cholecystectomy resulting in earlier recovery and discharge from the hospitals . Aim of study was to evaluate the impact of pre-admission education on recovery period following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method: A Quasi experimental study was used in carrying out this study, a convenience sample of 100 adult patients who attended to the surgical department at gastroenterology surgical center for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Two tools were developed to collect the data ,Tool I questionnaire sheet consisted of 2 parts demographic data and patient knowledge questionnaire sheet( pre education ,post education), tool II pain assessment sheet(12hr post operative,2 weeks post discharge) Results: the study results showed that there were highly statistical significant regard feeling of pain between two group12hr post operative and 2weeks post discharge and there were significant improvement on knowledge level of patients about post operative care post education. Conclusion: there was a beneficial effect of pre education on patient’s knowledge and there was improvement in feeling of pain after education. Recommendation: Emphasize the importance of nurses’ roles in assess and provide patients with proper update information about post operative care.
