“Discharge education is important for general surgical patients to participate and
regain control of their life after discharge. Overcoming barriers to discharge education is essential to enhance patient comprehension and recollection of the information. Discharge education delivered using a patient‐centred approach provides opportunity to engage patients,
foster patient understanding and enhance patients’ ability to self‐manage and could in turn improve their post-discharge outcomes.” (Kang)
