Factors Related to Readiness for Hospital Discharge Among Stroke Patients in Sichuan Province, the People’s Republic of China
Keywords:
Readiness for hospital discharge, Quality of discharge teaching, Care coordination, Stroke patientsAbstract
Readiness for hospital discharge is a characteristic of a successful health and illness transition from hospital to home. The purposes of this descriptive correlational study were 1) to study readiness for hospital discharge, the quality of discharge teaching, and care coordination among stroke patients; and 2) to explore the relationships between quality of discharge teaching, care coordination, and readiness for hospital discharge among stroke patients. The samples included 158 stroke patients admitted at neurological departments of three municipal tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province, the People’s Republic of China, and they were purposively selected. The research instruments included the Data Recording Form, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS), and the Patient Continuity of Care Questionnaire (PCCQ). The reliability coefficients of the RHDS, QDTS, and PCCQ were 0.80, 0.88, and 0.81, respectively. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation were used to analyze data.
The results of the study revealed that:
- The overall score of readiness for hospital discharge among stroke patients was at a high level ( = 176.06, SD = 18.48), quality of discharge teaching was at a moderate level ( = 117.28, SD = 19.38), and care coordination was at a high level ( = 110.02, SD = 8.38).
- There was a significantly moderate positive correlation between quality of discharge teaching and readiness for hospital discharge (r = .33, p = .000), and a significantly weak positive correlation between care coordination and readiness for hospital discharge
(r = .23, p = .004).
The results of the study could be used baseline information for Chinese nurses to develop strategies to improve readiness for hospital discharge to facilitate stroke patients’ hospital discharge.
