Abstract

Aim

This paper describes and compares the perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of day-case surgery patients before and after their procedures and examines some associated patient-related factors.

Method

A pre/posttest survey design was employed to collect data from Finnish adult day-case surgery patients using participant-completed EuroQoL 5-Dimensional Classification Component Scores (EQ-5D) questionnaires given 2 weeks presurgery (n = 131) and 2 weeks postsurgery (n = 131) in 2004.

Results

No noticeable change after minor surgery was found using the EQ-5D. Using the EQ-5D index, patients perceived their HRQoL as high before and after surgery. Almost one fifth (17%) reported no pain or discomfort before the procedure compared with 40% after it. As measured by the EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQVAS), those patients who reported chronic illness before the operation had a lower perception of their HRQoL compared with those who did not. It was also found that self-care and usual activities were more disturbed after surgery.

Conclusions

Although there were increases and decreases within items of the EQ-5D, overall, there was no improvement on EQ-5D scores. More research is needed to explore the sensitivity and responsiveness of the EQ-5D measure in day-case surgery patients.
