The effects of a knowledge management program of practice in discharge planning’s perception for patients with acute myocardial infarction in a community Hospital, Narathiwat province
Keywords:
acute myocardial infarction, knowledge management, discharge planning practiceAbstract
This two-group (pretest and posttest) quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the impact of a knowledge management program of practice in discharge planning for patients with acute myocardial infarction in a community hospital, Narathiwat province. The sample consisted of 30 registered nurses divided into two groups: 15 in an experimental group and 15 in a control group. The study employed a two-part instrument. The knowledge management process was applied from the knowledge management concept, and a perception measurement for discharge planning practices. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the Mann-Whitney U test.
The study found that after the experiment, the experimental group’s perception of practice in discharge planning was high (Mean = 4.50, SD = 0.32), while that of the control group was moderate (Mean = 3.31, SD = 0.33). A comparison of the means after receiving the knowledge management program revealed that the experimental group’s perception of practice in discharge planning for patients with acute myocardial infarction was higher than that of the control group, with a statistical significance of .05 (p < .05). This study can apply the knowledge management process concept to discharge planning for acute myocardial infarction patients to enhance an effective discharge planning system and to prepare patients to take care of themselves upon discharge from the hospital.
