title: [Perioperative nursing education and client satisfaction: an     observational study].
abstract: Nowadays, an important goal has been reached in recognizing that     the client plays a central role in the caring process. The educational     relationship that is created between nurses and patients makes it possible     to make the patient aware of his health problems and to understand and     actively participate in the caring process. The main aim of this study was     to assess the effectiveness of the teaching process undertaken by nurses ,     before discharging surgical patients , for rendering patients autonomous     once they returned home and their level of "satisfaction" regarding the     information they received. For this purpose they were asked to fill in a     questionnaire when they returned for their first outpatient control.     Results showed that, on the whole, patients were satisfied with the     information they received during hospitalization, particularly in terms of     postoperative pain, prevention of infections, medical therapy,     mobilization and a return to normal eating and drinking. Some aspects     still need to be improved regarding a post-discharge phone contact and     better hospital-territorial integration.
