Abstract

This study aimed to examine factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge among cancer patients. A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used. The sample of the study consisted of 118 cancer patients who were planned to be discharged and volunteered to participate in the study. Patient Information Form and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale/Short Form were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and Backward Linear Regression were used for data analysis. The mean age of the patients was 54.40±14.38 years, 53.3% had gastrointestinal cancer, 56% were stage III and stage IV. 50% of patients were unsure of their condition or were hopeless about their disease course. In this study, it was determined that variables such as the presence of metastases, stage 2,3,4 cancer, compliance with drug therapy, history of receiving education about discharge, hopeless thinking about the progression of the disease, age, income status and willingness to be discharged influence readiness for discharge in various sub-dimensions in cancer patients. The discharge preparations of the patients in the medical oncology clinic should be supported with planned personalized discharge training and should include their families.

Özet

Bu çalışma, kanser hastalarında taburcu olmaya hazıroluşu etkileyen faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir çalışma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini taburcu edilmesi planlanan ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 118 kanser hastası oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Hasta Bilgi Formu ve Taburcu Olmaya Hazır Olma Ölçeği/Kısa Form kullanılmıştır. Veri analizi için tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Backward Linear Regresyon kullanılmıştır. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 54.40±14.38, %53.3'ü gastrointestinal kanser, %56'sı evre III ve evre IV’tür. Hastaların %50'si durumlarından emin değildir veya hastalık seyri konusunda umutsuzdur. Bu çalışmada; metastaz varlığı, evre 2,3,4 kanser, ilaç tedavisine uyum, taburcu olma konusunda eğitim alma öyküsü, hastalığın seyri hakkında umutsuz düşünce, yaş, gelir durumu ve taburcu olmaya istekli olma durumunun kanser hastalarında taburculuğa hazıroluşluğu çeşitli alt boyutlarda etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Tıbbi onkoloji kliniğinde hastaların taburculuk hazırlıkları planlı, bireye özgü taburculuk eğitimleri ile desteklenmeli ve ailelerini de kapsamalıdır.
