Abstract:

 Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of health literacy level of patients who underwent lumbar disc herniation LDH surgery on patients readiness for discharge. Methods: The research was conducted in relational descriptive type. The study sample, consisted of 120 patients. The data were collected with an introductory information form, Health Literacy Scale, and Readiness for Hospital Discharge ScaleShort Form. In the analysis of the data, number percent distribution, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskall Wallis test and Spearman correlation analysis were used. Results: The participants Health Literacy Scale total score was 94.6015.22, and their health literacy levels were found to be above the middle. According to the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale scores, 57.5 n69 of the participants were not ready for discharge. It was determined that the mean scores of the Readiness for Discharge Scale differed from the descriptive features of the patients only according to the length of hospital stay p0.05. It was found that there was a weak positive correlation between the patients health literacy levels and their readiness to be discharged. Conclusion: Findings show that patients with a hospital stay longer than five days are more ready to be discharged and they feel more ready to be discharged as their health literacy level increases. In planning the discharge of patients who have undergone lumbar disc herniation surgery, the health literacy status of the patients should be determined and individual planning should be made.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma, lomber disk hernisi LDH ameliyatı geçiren hastaların sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin taburcu olmaya hazır olma durumuna etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı bir araştırmadır. Araştırma evrenini, bir üniversite hastanesinin beyin cerrahi servisinde planlı LDH ameliyatı yapılan hastalar oluşturdu. Örneklem büyüklüğünü 120 hasta oluşturdu. Veriler, tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve Taburcu Olmaya Hazır Olma Ölçeği-Kısa Formu ile toplandı. Verilerin analizinde, sayı, yüzde dağılımı, Mann Whitney U testi, Kruskall Wallis testi ve Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Sağlık Okuryazarlık Ölçeği toplam puanı 94.6015.22 olup sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerinin ortanın üstünde olduğu bulundu. Taburcu Olmaya Hazır Olma Ölçeği puanlarına göre katılımcıların, 57.5 n69inin taburculuğa hazır olmadıkları belirlendi. Hastaların tanıtıcı özelliklerinden sadece hastanede kalış süresine göre Taburcu Olmaya Hazır Olma Ölçeği puan ortalamalarının farklı olduğu belirlendi p0.05. Hastaların sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyine göre taburcu olmaya hazır olma durumu arasında pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde bir korelasyon olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, hastanede kalış süresinin beş günden fazla olmasının ve sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin artmasının hastaların kendilerini taburcu olmaya daha hazır hissettiklerini göstermektedir. Lomber disk hernisi ameliyatı geçirmiş hastaların taburculuk planlanmasının yapılmasında sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyleri belirlenmeli ve bireye özgü planlama yapılmalıdır.
