Abstract

Discharge readiness of patients post hip surgery is a process of preparation of the patient that starts before patients discharge to the period after the patient returns home. The patient's discharge readiness is influenced by several factors including patient characteristics, hospitalization factors, and nursing practice. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the patient's discharge readiness post hip surgery. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross sectional approach. The sample consisted of 90 post-hip surgery patients in two hospitals in Jakarta and Surakarta selected by consecutive sampling technique. The results of this study showed that the average patients discharge readiness post hip surgery was 148.38 ± 31.72. The results of multivariate analysis showed gender, socioeconomic status, planned admission, first hospitalization, previous admission for same diagnosis, length of stay, quality of discharge teaching, and care coordination together had a significant effect on 44.1% for discharge readiness patients post hip surgery (p = 0.0001) with the most influential factor is discharge teaching (β = 0.318). Discharge teaching in the hip surgery is one of the recommended things to do in increasing patient discharge readiness.
