To assess the effectiveness of a preoperative visiting health education system based on a network platform with multidisciplinary participation in patients undergoing general surgery.

Patients who underwent elective general surgery under general anesthesia in the central operating room of Zhongshan City People's Hospital from January to December 2018 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to odd days and even days. The experimental group received a multi-disciplinary preoperative visit based on the network platform, and a total of 630 patients were enrolled; the control group received a routine preoperative visit, and a total of 559 patients were included. The changes of anxiety level before and after the visit were evaluated using the visual analog scale and compared by t-test. A questionnaire was used to evaluate visit effect and chi-square test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. The satisfaction of the two groups of patients were evaluated with a satisfaction questionnaire and the difference was compared by rank sum test.

The anxiety score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(1.69±1.19) vs (3.23±0.93), t=56.628, P<0.001]. With regard to visit effect, the experimental group was better than the control group (P<0.05) in terms of whether to understand the basic process of surgical anesthesia, whether to understand the risk of anesthesia, whether to understand the relevant knowledge of postoperative analgesia, whether to arrange diet according to the guidelines, whether to dress and wear according to the guidelines, and whether to empty the bladder. The satisfaction of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (Z=9.852, P<0.001).

A preoperative visiting system based on the network platform with multidisciplinary participation can effectively reduce surgical stress, improve the visit effect, increase the patient's satisfaction, and improve the working quality in the operating room.
