The study reached three main themes: ‘First Experiences After Surgery’, ‘Reasons for Choosing Bariatric Surgery’, and ‘The Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Patients' Lives’. It was found that the primary reason for participants to prefer bariatric surgery was ‘aesthetic appearance/to be liked’. It was determined that the most used code among the positive effects after surgery was ‘happiness’. The most used codes for negative effects were ‘hair loss’ and ‘weight regain’. The most repeated code in the first experiences after surgery was ‘nausea and vomiting’.

减肥手术患者的定性结局：选择减肥手术的原因及减肥手术对患者生活的影响

目的本研究旨在探讨病态肥胖者选择减肥手术的原因及减肥手术对患者生活的影响。方法采用半结构化访谈表对接受减肥手术的患者进行访谈。采用MaxQDA20软件对被试的表情进行主题分析。结果女性占52.9%。这项研究有三个主要主题：“手术后的第一次经历”、“选择减肥手术的原因”和“减肥手术对患者生活的影响”。研究发现，参与者选择减肥手术的主要原因是“美观/讨人喜欢”。研究确定，在手术后的积极影响中，使用最多的代码是“快乐”。最常用的负面影响代号是“脱发”和“体重反弹”。术后第一次经历中重复次数最多的是“恶心和呕吐”。结论本研究结果对所有病态肥胖人群具有重要的指导意义。然而，建议对减肥手术的偏好和对手术的态度进行进一步的定性和定量研究。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
