Parental readiness for discharge in day surgery children: current status and associated factors.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Enhancing parental readiness for hospital discharge is critical for optimizing postoperative outcomes in pediatric day surgery. However, current evidence regarding the discharge preparedness of parents in this context remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the status of parental readiness for discharge of day surgery children and identify its key influencing factors. Methods: Parents of the day surgery children at our hospital from February 2024 to February 2025 were included in this study. We utilized the Discharge Readiness Scale to assess the study participants, examining their discharge readiness scores and identifying associated influencing factors. Results: A total of 252 parents of day surgery children were included. The overall discharge readiness score among these parents was 235.18±30.66. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between parental discharge readiness and several factors: the child's previous history of having day surgery (r=0.590), the parent's educational level (r=0.632), place of residence (r=0.592), and personal monthly income (r=0.606) (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression found that the child's previous history of having day surgery, the parent's educational level, place of residence, and personal monthly income were influencing factors of parental discharge readiness in day surgery children (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The discharge readiness of parents of day surgery children is at a moderate level. Healthcare providers should implement targeted pre-discharge guidance and continuity of care to enhance parental confidence and improve their discharge readiness.
