Effect of transitional health management program on readiness for discharge among acute coronary syndrome patients with post percutaneous coronary intervention

Transitional health management program, Acute coronary syndrome, Readiness for dischargeAbstract
This quasi-experimental two-group posttest design aimed to examine the effect of transitional health management program on readiness for discharge among acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Sixty-eight patients who met inclusion criteria were recruited and randomly assigned into an experimental group (n=34) and control group (n=34). Those in an experimental group received a transitional health management program developed based on transition theory and related literature, while a group received usual care. The research instruments were used to collect the data including the personal data, the health status and the readiness for discharge questionnaire. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and Independence t-test.
The result revealed that after experiment, the experimental group had statistically significant higher mean score of readiness for discharge at 4 hours before being hospital discharged in comparison with the control group (t = 7.914, p<.001). The results suggested that the transitional health management program could be useful to promote readiness for discharge, develop confidence and coping in transitional care among acute coronary syndrome patients.
