Abstract

[Objective:] To explore transition care needs among patients with keratoplasty in day ward and analyze the influencing factors. [Methods:] Using convenience sampling method, 173 patients undergoing keratoplasty in day ward were selected, and they were investigated by using a self-designed general information questionnaire and a questionnaire of transitional care needs of patients with keratoplasty in day ward. T-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. [Results:] The total score of transitional care needs among patients with keratoplasty in day ward was 88.13±15.55. The demand for disease related knowledge was the highest (4.39±0.66), the demand for mental nursing was the lowest (2.72±1.18). In terms of the way of implementation, 74.6% patients preferred telephone follow-up and only 5.8% preferred door-to-door service. Single-factor analysis showed that marital status, vision, monthly income, educational level were the factors influencing the demand for transitional care (P<0.05). [Conclusion:] Patients with keratoplasty in day ward have a high demand for transitional care. In order to improve the success rate of keratoplasty and reduce the incidence of complications, personalized guidance should be given according to patients' transitional care needs and influencing factors.
