Introduction: Discharge Planning is one of the agendas that is a part of nursing duties. This is not only complicated but it is also a long-term activity, starting from when the patients are admitted to hospital until they are allowed to go home. Factually, it cannot be denied that effective nursing discharge planning implementation will provide benefits for the patient, their family and the professionals within the health care setting. Based on those facts, the author composed this systematic review with the purpose of identifying the influential factors that have a role in terms of the effectiveness of nursing discharge planning implementation in hospitalsMethods: The researcher conducted their investigation in February 2019 and this involved the exploration of scientific papers from ProQuest and Scopus using the keywords ‘nursing discharge planning’, ‘effectiveness’ and ‘implementation’. This paper identified 15 relevant research articles from 500 original full texts. These papers were analyzed according to the inclusion criteria and the impeding factors in discharge planning implementation. It involved 1 quasi-RCT and 14 descriptive research studies.Results: As a result, from the 10.000 respondents, it was found that the enhancing factors include effective communication at 43% and the factors causing impedance in nursing discharge planning effectiveness includes the continuity of staff at 38 %.Conclusion: The dominant factor of impedance as stated in the interview sessions was a lack of time to do the nursing discharge planning properly.
Introduction: Discharge Planning is one of various nursing duty agendas, starting from when patients are admitted to hospital up to being allowed to go home. The phenomenon of implementation discharge planning for patients today is not optimal whereby nurses just do limited implementation of routine activities in the form of information on re-control. Based on those facts, the author wishes to study the analysis of impedance and enhancement factors in discharge planning implementation at hospitals.Methods: The researcher conducted investigation in February 2020 and involved exploration of some scientific papers journal from ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Scopus, and, PubMed as references with keywords nursing discharge planning, enhancement and impedance factors, implementation, and, hospital. This paper identified15 relevant research articles from 500 original full texts between 2010 and 2018 and analyzed inclusion criterion of enhancement and impedance factors in discharge planning implementation. It involves three RCTs, eight descriptive, and four qualitative research papersResults: As a result, there are found eight enhancement and five impedance factors influencing in discharge planning implementation. Meanwhile, from 3250 research respondents, 2125 persons reports enhanced factors contrary 1.125 samples imply impedance factors.Conclusion: The implementation discharge planning is influenced by some factors that should be given attention by nurses to do discharge planning properly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
