| Objective:To explore the effect of family caregivers demand-oriented discharge planning program on stroke patients. Methods: Ninety-two stroke patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table (n=46 cases each). The participants in observation group were given family caregivers demand-oriented discharge planning program, and the family caregivers in control group were not given special intervention. The caregivers discharge readiness, the quality of patient care, and the result of living quality were compared between the two groups. Results: Compared with the same-day discharge, the family caregivers readiness of the two groups at 1st week, 1st month and 2nd month after discharge all showed a trend of increase gradually (P<0.05), and the observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group at each time point (P<0.05). After discharge, patient care scores in the observation group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.05). The living quality was significantly improved in observation group as compared with the control group at 1st week, 1st month and 2nd month after discharge (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the control group at different time points after discharge.Conclusion:The family caregivers demand-oriented discharge planning program can improve caregivers discharge readiness, the quality of patient care and the result of living quality, so it is worth to be popularized and applied clinically. |
