Development of Discharge Planning Model in an Effort to Improve Skills and Management of Nursing Care in Mental Hospitals
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to develop a discharge planning model and test its effectiveness on the skills and management of nursing care performed by nurses on patients with behavior violence in mental hospitals.
Methods: The model is developed by R&D method through combining field analysis and concept analysis. The effectiveness of the model was tested using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design on 52 nurses (27 treatments and 27 control nurses). The data were analyzed by non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney).
Results: The discharge planning model developed covers three domains (assessment, evaluation and discharge patient record plan). Format discharge planning that has been developed significantly improves nursing care skills and management (p<0.05). The development of the discharge planning model has also proven effective in improving nursing care management (p <0.05) although for nurse skill variables have not been proven effective when compared to the previous format.
Conclusion: Form discharge planning in violent behavior patients have been developed and have an effect on nurse skills and nursing care management.
