Patient Safety Checklist (PASC) in Surgical Patients
Sponsor: Ondokuz Mayıs University
Summary
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.

Standard Care (in control arm)
The 132 patients randomized to the control group will complete only the Descriptive Characteristics Form at enrollment and will receive routine standard care throughout the perioperative period
Using a PASC Checklist
The Patient Safety Checklist (PASC) was developed for patient self-use.The 132 patients randomized to the intervention group will receive the Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Patient Safety Checklist (PASC) on the day the decision for surgery is made. Participants will be instructed to use the PASC throughout the entire perioperative period, from the preoperative phase until hospital discharge. The completed PASC will be collected by the researcher on the day of discharge.
