Objective To explore and analyze the influencing factors of discharge readiness of elderly patients with lung cancer during perioperative period. Methods A total of 81 patients with lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Basic data such as gender, age, education level, and pain perception were investigated and recorded using an Excel form. One day before discharge, the patients health status was investigated using the Discharge Readiness Scale (RHDS), and analyzed using single factor and multiple linear regression. Results Single factor and multiple linear regression analysis showed that patients discharge readiness was significantly correlated with factors such as residential address, marital status, family income, and VAS pain score (P>0.05). Conclusion Perioperative discharge readiness of elderly patients with lung cancer is related to multiple factors such as tumor stage, marital status, VAS pain score, and effective control of it can promote the recovery process of patients and improve the prognosis of the disease.
