Impact of a Nurse-Led Enhanced Recovery Pathway on Perioperative Patient Satisfaction in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery

Background: The most desired result is patient satisfaction, which every hospital should aim for. Improved postoperative recovery maximizes care prior to, during, and following surgery by lowering perioperative stress, determining patient needs, and advancing clinical practice. Aim: Evaluate the impact of a nurse-led enhanced recovery pathway on perioperative patient satisfaction in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: The study was conducted at surgical department, operation unit and intensive care Unit at Alrajhy Liver Hospital. Sample: Sixty patient undergoing hepatobiliary pancreatic surgeries. The sample was divided into two groups; control and study group (30 patients each). Tools: Patient satisfactions assessment questionnaire tool. It included three parts: Patient assessment, postoperative outcomes evaluation, and patient satisfactions questionnaire. Results: About 56.7% of the studied patients in the study and the control groups were more than 50 years old. 43.3% in the control group and 93.3% of the study group were satisfied, with highly statistically significant difference between the both groups at p-value
