ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the intervention effects of nurse-led discharge planning on discharge readiness and ostomy psychological adaptation in patients with enterostomy.Methods:A total of 70 patients with enterostomy admitted from January 2019 to October 2020 in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine were enrolled in the present study. They were assigned to experimental group and control group according to the admission time, there were 35 cases in each group. There was one case lost in the control group in the end. The control group received the routine care, while the experimental group implemented nurse-led discharge planning. The Chinese version of Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) and Ostomy Adjustment Inventory (OAI) were adopted as indicators, the intervention effects was compared between the two groups.Results:On discharge, disease knowledge, coping ability, personal status and expected support dimension scores and total scores in RHDS were (58.06 ± 12.54) , (23.57 ± 3.73), (24.29 ± 3.48) , (30.40 ± 5.25), (136.31 ± 14.32) points in the experimental group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (49.57 ± 13.28), (18.63 ± 4.97), (22.37 ± 4.28), (26.11 ± 5.66), (101.68 ± 13.04) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.05-4.91, all P<0.05) . On discharge and 1 month after discharge, the persistent worry, acceptance, positive attitude towards life dimension scores and total scores in OAI were (21.34 ± 2.72) , (13.29 ± 2.36), (15.26 ± 3.24), (49.89 ± 5.70) points and (22.03 ± 3.45), (12.49 ± 3.10), (15.09 ± 3.06), (49.60 ± 5.55) points in the experimental group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (19.35 ± 2.98) , (11.56 ± 2.79), (13.26 ± 3.15), (44.18 ± 5.63) points and (19.91 ± 3.34), (10.76 ± 2.80), (12.24 ± 3.25), (42.91 ± 4.76) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.42-5.36, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Nurse-led discharge planning can promote discharge readiness and ostomy psychological adaptation in patients with enterostomy.
