Abstract:
Objective:To explore and understand the home rehabilitation experience of obese patients after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) , and provide a reference for the development of home nursing after MBS.Methods:Totally 12 patients who came for reexamination after MBS at the Department of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital were selected by purposive sampling between February and May 2019. Descriptive research methods were used to conduct in-depth interviews over the patients and record the results, and content analysis was employed to organize and analyze the data.Results:Four themes were refined: suffering from changes in body image; constantly facing the puzzles of diet management; gradually choosing to give up rehabilitation exercise; and feeling emotional fluctuations, the hardship of seeking medical service and inner expectations.Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the true feelings of patients' home rehabilitation post operation, strengthen the professional support outside the hospital for the health-related problems and different mental states during the rehabilitation process, provide standardized home care services, and improve the quality of life of the patients.
