The objective of this study was to study the effects of discharge planning nursing guidelines on activities of daily living among patients with traumatic brain injury. Head injury patients admitted to the female surgery ward and male surgery, Phayao Hospital from October 2018 - December 2020, were selected to be the specific sample. Participants were divided into an experimental group (n = 38) and a control group (n = 38). The experimental group received care according to the discharge planning nursing guidelines among patients with traumatic brain injury from July to December 2020, and the control group was used for comparison. The control group received nursing care according to nursing standards prior to the development of discharge planning nursing guidelines among patients with traumatic brain injury from October 2018 - September 2019. Data were collected using questionnaires regarding discharge planning nursing guidelines among patients with traumatic brain injury and the consciousness scale using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Data were collected from medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi - square, The Mann - Whitney U test, and the independent t - test.
The result showed that the adoption of the guidelines resulted in an increase in the patients’ ability to perform daily activities more than the control group at a statistically significant level of .001. (p < .05).
Therefore, this study suggests that the guidelines should be applied in the organization and disseminated to other agencies to promote the recovery of patients with traumatic brain injury.
