Objective To compare and analyze the impact of adopting a diversified education model on patients’ health awareness and satisfaction for day surgery patients. Methods A study was conducted on 54 day surgery patients admitted to our hospital from February 2023 to February 2025. The patients were divided into a control group and an experimental group based on actual educational methods, with 27 patients in each group. The routine group of patients received routine health education, while the experimental group of patients adopted a diversified education model. The health awareness, anxiety score, self-care efficacy score, family care ability score, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups of patients were observed and compared. Results Compared with the data of the conventional group patients, the experimental group patients had a significantly higher awareness rate of health knowledge (P<0.05). After intervention, compared with the data of the conventional group patients, the experimental group patients showed a more prominent improvement effect on anxiety (P<0.05). After intervention, compared with the data of the conventional group patients, the experimental group patients showed more significant improvement in indicators such as self-care efficacy and family care ability (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients undergoing day surgery, adopting a diversified health education model is more effective in clinical practice. It can not only significantly increase patients’ health awareness but also improve their anxiety. In addition, on the basis of effectively improving the level of self-care efficacy, it is recommended to enhance the caregiving ability and nursing satisfaction of family members through clinical practice and promotion.
