Abstract

Objective To explore the application effect of hospital discharge preparation service in elderly cardiovascular disease patients with comorbidity. Methods A total of 97 elderly cardiovascular disease patients with comorbidity in the geriatric ward of our center were selected as the study objects and divided into observation group (48 cases) and control group (49 cases). The discharge readiness, discharge guidance quality, self-management capacity, complication rate and readmission rate of elderly cardiovascular disease patients with comorbidity were compared between these two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the three dimensions of personal status, adaptive ability and anticipatory support in the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale of the observation group significantly increased (P < 0.05). The three dimensions of patients' needs, acquired contents, guidance skills and effects in the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale also increased (P < 0.05). Moreover, the three dimensions of the self-management ability evaluation scale of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the complication rate and the readmission rate of patients were lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Discharge preparation service significantly improved the discharge readiness, self-management ability of elderly cardiovascular disease patients with comorbidity, the discharge guidance quality, and reduced the complication rate as well as the readmission rate of patients, which indicated the bright perspective of discharge preparation service in elderly cardiovascular disease patients with comorbidity.
