To describe the situation of patients operative preparation before planned surgery among nurses at the Urology Department, Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Subjects and methods: 250 patients aged ≥18 with indications and preparation for planned surgery at the Urology Department, Hanoi Medical University Hospital with cross-sectional descriptive research design. Results: 42.8% of forms committed to performing surgery, anesthesia achieved. 75.6% of patients were visited and encouraged. 94% of patients were not instructed to practice adequate personal hygiene. 31.67% did not confirm that the doctor marked the surgical site. 52.4% of patients were not re-measured vital signs; 86.4% of patients going to surgery were not transported by stretcher/wheelchair. Conclusions: most of the preoperative patient preparation steps were done quite well. However, the steps that have been taken but are not good are: understanding the patient's psychology, instructing the patient on personal hygiene, completing the written commitment to perform surgery/procedure/anesthesia, certifying the doctor marked the surgical site, measured vital signs and transported the patient to surgery.
