Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the relationship between satisfaction with nursing care and readiness for discharge among elderly patients after cardiac surgery at Shahid Rajaee Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran.
Background. Satisfaction with nursing care and readiness for hospital discharge are essential indicators of healthcare quality. With the growing elderly population and increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, assessing these variables in cardiac surgery patients is of great importance.
Method. In this descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study, 300 elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery were enrolled using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS), and the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
Findings. The mean satisfaction score was 53.22±8.4, and the mean discharge readiness score was 6.1±1.7. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between satisfaction with nursing care and discharge readiness (r=0.46, p≤0.0001). Gender and education level were associated with satisfaction, while income level was associated with discharge readiness.
Conclusion. The findings indicated that patient satisfaction with nursing care is positively related to discharge readiness. Enhancing discharge education, nurse–patient communication, and nursing care quality can improve readiness for discharge among elderly cardiac surgery patients. |
