Abstract: Objective: To explore the effects of applying pre-hospital management model among patients before eye surgery. Methods: The patients were recruited by the convenience sampling method. The control group consisted of 300 patients from a tertiary hospital in Beijing who received the traditional care from October 2011 to March 2012. From April to September 2012,another 300 patients from the same hospital were recruited as the experiment group and cared by pre-hospital management model. The control group received the conventional hospital operation management, while the experimental group received the pre-hospital management model besides the traditional care. Results: After the application of pre-hospital management model, the surgical knowledge and self-appraisal on the hospitalized operation in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (P﹤0.01). The rate of the cancelled operation was reduced from 3.77% to 2.78%. The average pre-operative hospitalized length were shortened by 0.1 day. Conclusions: The pre-hospital management model could provide continuous care to the pre-surgical patients before their hospitalization. This model is able to improve the patients' compliance of self-medication and self-care as well as the adaptation and cooperation to the surgery and treatment during the operational waiting period.
