Abstract

Background: Self-care behaviors (SCB) influence the progression of numerous illnesses, including lumbar laminectomy. Aim: This study aimed to assess lumbar laminectomy patients' self-care behavior. Setting: The neurosurgical department and outpatient clinic served as the study's locations of the Health Care Authority hospitals connected to Port-Said, Egypt. The hospital, Alsalam Hospital, is the only facility in the city. Sample: The following criteria were used to collect data from sixty patients who followed up Inclusion criteria: Adult patients of both sexes, Patients free from mental disorders and able to verbalize and communicate. Exclusion criteria: Patients with chronic conditions such as rheumatic disorders, osteoporosis, spinal fracture, and end-stage renal disease. a purposive sample following surgery. Tools of data collection: In the current study, patient data were gathered using two measures: Tool (I): Two-part structured interview questionnaire comprising sociodemographic information, and medical and surgical history. Tool (2): Self-care behavior for lumbar laminectomy patients. Results: Our study displayed that nearly half of the patients had unsatisfactory self-care behavior after lumbar laminectomy. Conclusion: The majority of the studied cases need to improve their self-care behavior regarding unsatisfactory self-care behavior and there wasn't statistically significant relation between demographic data and self-care behavior. Recommendations: Create patient education materials with thorough information on how patients with lumbar laminectomy should take care of themselves. Each patient's unique needs should be catered for in the health education program.
