Objective To explore the postoperative satisfaction of patients with lumbar disc herniation after enhanced recovery after surgery and its related factors. Methods A total of 102 patients with lumbar disc herniation were selected and analyzed by convenient sampling method from September 2016 to June 2017. The patients’ general information, functional status [using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to investigate the preoperative, postoperative and post-discharge ODI] and patients’ satisfaction (1 month after the discharge) were collected. Results A total of 102 patients, including 62 males and 40 females, aged from 14 to 82 years with an average of (43.8±14.4) years were included in the study.The mean length of hospital stay was (6.61±2.49) days. The total score of patients’ satisfaction was 62.43±6.37, and the satisfaction degree was at the middle and high level. Postoperative and post-discharge ODIs were associated with patients’ satisfaction (rs=0.328, 0.452; P<0.05). Conclusions The postoperative satisfaction of patients with lumbar disc herniation after enhanced recovery after surgery should be further improved. The medical staff should pay attention to the recovery of postoperative function in order to improve the patients’ satisfaction.
