Abstract
Objective To explore the latent profile characteristics of preoperative readiness and its influencing factors among patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. Methods A total of 412 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were recruited using a convenience sampling method. The general information questionnaire, preoperative assessment of readiness tool (PART), state anxiety inventory (S-AI), and brief health literacy screen (BHLS) were used for investigation. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify latent classes of patients′ preoperative readiness, and univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis were further performed to explore its influencing factors. Results Four latent classes of preoperative readiness were identified: low readiness group (n=47), moderately low readiness group (n=104), moderately high readiness group (n=157), and high readiness group (n=104). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that state anxiety, health literacy, and sex were associated with latent class membership of preoperative readiness. The odds ratio (OR) values were 1.063-1.198 for S-AI total scores and 0.740-0.903 for BHLS total scores. After adjustment for S-AI and BHLS total scores, the odds of membership in the moderately low readiness group rather than the high readiness group among male patients were 0.434 times those among female patients (OR=0.434, P=0.009). Conclusion Preoperative readiness among patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia shows latent stratification at different levels, suggesting that healthcare professionals should develop targeted preoperative interventions based on the characteristics of patients in different latent classes, with particular attention to female patients and those with high anxiety levels or low health literacy, so as to improve the quality of preoperative preparation.
