H₀₂: There is no difference in communication problems between surgical patients who use the PASC and those in the control group. •H₁₁: There is a difference in discharge education satisfaction levels between surgical patients who use the PASC and those in the control group. H₁₂: There is a difference in communication problems between surgical patients who use the PASC and those in the control group.
