Abstract

Background

Pneumonia is the primary cause of pediatric hospitalization and the most frequent cause of death among children under the age of five in China. The parental discharge teaching quality and discharge readiness have a significant impact on children's health outcomes and readmission.

Research Aim

The study was conducted to assess the discharge readiness and the quality of discharge teaching of parents of children with pneumonia, examine their relationship, and identify key influencing factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2023. Participants, a total of 202 parents, were given anonymous questionnaires on the day of discharge, including the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale—Parent Form and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale—Parent Form.

Results

The results showed a medium level of discharge readiness and a low level of discharge teaching quality. Additionally, there was a strong positive association between the aforementioned. The quality of discharge teaching, parents' perceived severity of the child's illness, the child's age and the child's disease status were the main factors determining discharge readiness.

Conclusions

Pediatricians are encouraged to consider this outcome to develop targeted interventions that improve parental discharge teaching, discharge readiness and post-discharge outcomes for children with pneumonia.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
