Detailed description
The role of thoracic nursing specialty is to support and educate patients, who are suffering from thoracic diseases, to achieve the best outcome in terms of physical, psychological, social and spiritual well beings. The care provided not only focuses on in-hospital treatments that patient received, but also encompasses the whole patient journey including lifestyle modification, health concept promotion, self-empowerment and secondary prevention. Preoperative prophylactic physiotherapy has been shown to be an important and effective approach in preventing or reducing postoperative complications, in addition to optimizing treatment by familiarizing the patient with the physiotherapeutic procedures. Quasi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study.Sixty adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery included and had the following criteria, the age ranged from 18-65 years old, both male and female. The patients divided into two equal groups (study and control groups), 30 patients for each. The study group received educational nursing protocol while the control group received the routine hospital care.
