Keywords:
Stroke, Caregiver, Preparation for discharge readiness, Coping difficultiesAbstract
Readiness of caregivers in caring for older people with stroke will decrease coping difficulties experienced while providing care at home. This quasi-experimental research, post-test only control group design aimed to examine the effect of preparation for discharge readiness on post-discharge coping difficulties among caregivers of older people with stroke. The sample consisted of fifty family caregivers of stroke patients aged sixty years old and above and hospitalized at Samutprakarn Hospital. The participants were recruited by purposive sampling and assigned into the experimental group or the control group, 24 and 26 participants, respectively. The experimental group received the preparation for discharge readiness program whereas the control group received the regular care. Research instruments consisted of the preparation for discharge readiness plan and the post-discharge coping difficulties scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test.
Research results revealed that the experimental group had a moderate coping difficulty score ( =51.75, S.D.=15.35). Following discharge, the experimental group had significantly lower post-discharge coping difficulty than the control group at a significant level of p < .001.
The result of this study indicates that the preparation for discharge readiness program can reduce the coping difficulties of caregivers in caring for older people with stroke. Therefore, it can be used to prepare family caregivers of older people with stroke during hospitalization.
