Abstract: Objective: To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of readiness for hospital discharge of patients with lumbar
spinal stenosis undergoing surgery. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 220 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who
were admitted to the spinal surgery department of a tertiary hospital in Dali city from October 2022 to June 2023 by convenient
sampling method. Results: The total score of readiness for hospital discharge of 220 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing
surgery was (90.77±8.25). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, education level, reason for discharge,
quality of discharge instructions, and social support were the influencing factors of readiness for hospital discharge of patients with
lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion: The readiness for hospital discharge of patients with lumbar spinal
stenosis undergoing surgery is at a medium level. Healthcare professionals should strengthen discharge education for female patients,
patients with lower education level and patients whose doctors recommend discharge. Healthcare professionals should also formulate
targeted interventions for these patients to improve their readiness for discharge and social adaptation.
