Objective To explore the current situation of the readiness for hospital discharge and the quality of discharge teaching in lung cancer patients based on enhanced recovery after surgery, and to analyze their correlation.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study and 141 postoperative patients with lung cancer in our hospital from July to August 2018 were investigated by general information questionnaire, readiness for hospital discharge scale and quality of discharge teaching scale. There were 65 males and 76 females at age of 18-85 (55.35±12.15) years.Results Totally 88.65% of postoperative patients with lung cancer reported that they were ready for discharge, and the total score of readiness for hospital discharge was 78.36±16.48, and the total score of quality of discharge teaching was 90.94±18.62. There was a positive correlation between the readiness for hospital discharge and the quality of discharge teaching in postoperative patients with lung cancer (r=0.57, P<0.01).Conclusion The readiness for hospital discharge of postoperative patients with lung cancer keeps in medium level, while the quality of discharge teaching is good, and the readiness for hospital discharge is positively correlated with the quality of discharge teaching. Medical staff should pay more attention to the cognitive level of lung cancer patients' disease-related information and their physical function recovery, and enrich the discharge guidance content, in order to improve the readiness of postoperative patients with lung cancer.
