This study aims to examine the effect of using the Patient Safety Checklist (PASC) on surgical patients' satisfaction with discharge education and their communication-related issues.
This study is designed as a post-test control group randomized trial. The main questions it aims to answer are:
H₀₁: There is no difference in discharge education satisfaction levels between surgical patients who use the PASC and those in the control group.
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. Research Question:• What are the adherence rates for each item of the PASC Checklist and the overall adherence rate among participants?
Participants will:
* From the day the decision for surgery is made until hospital discharge, participants will either use the Patient Safety Checklist (PASC) or receive standard perioperative care, according to their group allocation.
* On the day of discharge, participants will complete the Surgical Patients' Discharge Education Satisfaction Scale, the Healthcare Communication Questionnaire, and the Health Communication Problems Scale.
