Abstract

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to determine the effectiveness of discharge planning program on knowledge and self-care behavior among type 2 diabetic patients, Ratchaburi hospital, Ratchaburi province. Sample of 50 patients received treatment at Ratchaburi hospital were equally divided into two groups with experiment group 25 patients and control group 25 patients. The experimental group received discharge planning program for type 2 diabetic patients, whereas the control group received routine care. The research instruments consisted of a discharge planning program for type 2 diabetic patients, which included: a self-care manual for type 2 diabetic patient and a discharge planning manual according to the D-M-E-T-H-O-D model for nurses. The data were collected through questionnaires containing demographic data, self-care knowledge, and self-care behavior. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while paired t-test and independent t-test were approached to compare the data before and after the experiment.

The results showed that the total mean score on knowledge and self-care behavior of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than the control group (p <.05).

According to such results, it is suggested that nurses can further apply this discharge planning program for type 2 diabetic patients in promoting self-care of other chronic disease patients.
