Factors Influencing Readiness for Hospital Discharge in Knee Replacement Patients
Keywords:
Knees arthroplasty, Readiness for hospital dischargeAbstract
As people’s life expectancy gets longer worldwide, health issues related to the knees of the aging body are inevitably prevalent. While knee replacement can improve the overall quality of life, the treatment may at times cause complications leading to hospitalization. An in-depth understanding of the factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge is crucial to develop the interventions to reduce potential downstream complications effectively. This correlational research study was used to describe factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge among patients with a knee replacement. The sample consisted of 108 patients with osteoarthritis who had a knee replacement at a tertiary hospital. The research instruments consisted of questionnaires on the following topics: (1) Perceived social support; (2) Continuity of Care; and (3) Teaching quality. All research instruments were tested for content validity and reliability. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficients and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis.
The results of study showed that: participants had a moderate level of readiness for hospital discharge (x̄ = 8.09, SD = 1.14). Perceived social support and teaching quality were found to be significantly correlated with readiness for hospital discharge (r = .644, p <.01) and (r = .459, p <.01) respectively.
Perceived social support and teaching quality concerning discharge positively affect readiness for hospital discharge. These findings can be used to improve nursing interventions regarding discharge planning for patients undergoing knee replacement. Further studies aimed at testing nursing interventions for promoting social support and patient teaching should be done.
