| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is considered the most effective and safest surgery for the management of obesity. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of multidimensional educational package on Body Mass Index, biochemical parameters, and quality of life among patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Design: A quasi- experimental study design was used. Setting: The study was carried out at the obesity outpatient clinic and surgical unit at Menoufia University Hospital, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenience sample of 62 adult obese patients undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. Instruments: Three tools were used: I. Structured interview questionnaire to collect demographic and medical data and assess patients' knowledge about Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, II.36-Item short form survey scale for quality of life, III. Biophysiological measurements which included anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters. Results: After the implementation of the multidimensional educational package, the total mean score of knowledge among the study group improved to 29.8±6.2 compared to15.8±7.2 in the control group. The mean score of Body Mass Index decreased to 27.62± 4.33 in the study group compared to 34.75± 4.21 in the control group. Also, a statistically significant improvement was found in the study group in comparison with the control group in all items of biochemical parameters at post intervention (P <0.001). In addition, the total mean score of quality of life scale increased to 87.4 in the study group compared to 68.8 in the control group. Conclusion: The multidimensional educational package improved knowledge, reduced Body Mass Index, improved biochemical parameters, and enhanced quality of life in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients. Recommendation: Designing and implementing an educational program for obese patients is beneficial to enhance their knowledge and practices as regard to sleeve gastrectomy. | ||||
