Tiivistelmä
This study assesses the quality of life of patients who underwent gastric bypass operation. It specifically answered the questions about the quality of life of patients prior to gastric bypass operation and how information is given to them and their quality of life after the gastric bypass operation. It utilizes a researcher-made questionnaire and an unstructured interview and it uses content analysis in analyzing the data gathered.
The data gathered showed that the patients did not receive enough information about the side effects of bypass operation. In the content analysis, it was found that patients were not prepared for the kind of life they will have to live after the operation. They were also not provided with a dietary plan in order for them to avoid the foods that will make them feel uncomfortable.
It was concluded that appropriate information about gastric bypass operation should be provided to patients since this will help them prepare for the kind of life that they will have to live after their bypass operation.
