Readiness for hospital discharge is necessary for postpartum mothers. This helps mothers effectively face with physical, mental, and adaptive changes in the postpartum period. The purpose of this predictive correlational research study was to explore readiness for hospital discharge and the predicting factors of readiness for hospital discharge among postpartum mothers. The subjects were 80 mothers who gave birth and stay in the postpartum care unit at Maharaj Nakorn Chaing Mai or Nakornping Hospitals from January to August 2016. The participants were criteria selected. The assessment tools were the readiness for hospital discharge questionnaire, the teaching quality questionnaire and the care coordination questionnaire. The reliability of the readiness for hospital discharge questionnaire, the teaching quality questionnaire of Sirirat Panuthai and the care coordination questionnaire that was modified by Preeyakamon Krikitrat and Kannika Kantaruksa. The tools were tested reliability by using Cronbach’ alpha coefficient, were 97, .97 and .96, respectively. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's product moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data.
Results of the study revealed that:
- 65.00 % of Postpartum mothers perceived about readiness for hospital discharge at high level and mean score was 193.08 (S.D. = 25.20).
- 58.75% of Postpartum mothers perceived about teaching quality at high level and mean score was 208.41 (S.D. = 35.82).
- 70.00 % of Postpartum mothers perceived about care coordination at high level and mean score was 101.63 (S.D. = 18.35).
- Teaching quality had a high positive correlation with readiness for hospital discharge (r = .513, p< .01). Care coordination had moderate positive correlation with readiness for hospital discharge (r = .465, p< .01).
- Teaching quality and care coordination can predict readiness for hospital discharge among postpartum mothers at a percentage of 33.0 (p< .01).
The result of this study will be the basic information about readiness for hospital discharge of postpartum mother.
