The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of discharge planning between diabetes(DM) and cardiac vascular accident(CVA) patients. Samples were assessed through a discharge planning screening instrument. The results revealed that the length of stay(LOS) of CVA patients was shorter than DM patients. CVA cases were involved due to activity impairment, conscious disorder, self care deficiency, home visit and rehabilitation needs. Compared with DM patients, CVA patients received more education on catheter care, suction care, feeding care, and require more rehabilitation referral, social worker referral, home care referral, and life care referral services. DM patients received more insulin injection education, diet education, and public health referral service than CVA patients. Equipment recommended for the discharge patients included one touch meter for DM patients, and sphygmomanometer, steam inhalation machine, wheelchair, and four-leg on sticks for CVA patients. The compliance rate of obtaining these self care equipment was 59% in research samples. Most patients checked BP and BS once a week. We conclude that to investigate discharge planning needs and develop a structured checklist of different diseases for implementation of discharge planning. |
