Status and Influencing Factors of Discharge Readiness in Day Surgery Lung Cancer Patients Under a Fast‐Track Rehabilitation Pathway

Healthcare professionals should focus on assessing patients' readiness for discharge, consistent with the World Health Organization's emphasis on patient-centred discharge planning. We recommend (1) establishing post-discharge support systems for rural and low-income patients, (2) including resilience-building interventions in preoperative education and (3) adopting a multiform health promotion approach to change negative illness perceptions and coping strategies. Additionally, we strongly advocate for the development of nurse-led transitional care plans that address both medical and psychosocial needs to optimise patient recovery and long-term well-being.
