Abstract
En 中文
PURPOSE: The current study collected data on inpatients' length of stay in chronic psychiatric care wards and examined the association between nurse managers'dis-charge planning practices and inpatients'return to the community within 180 days. METHOD: Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires from nurse managers in 64 wards, covering 430 inpatients. Multi-level logistic regression analysis was conducted. RESULTS: Of 430 inpatients, 195 were discharged within 180 days, and 232 within 1 year. Nurse managers' active intervention in discharge planning was significantly associated with return to the community within 180 days (odds ratio = 5.32; 95% confidence interval [1.15, 24.6]). CONCLUSION: Nurses' active participation in discharge planning facilitated early discharge. Systems encouraging such involvement should be developed, and nurse managers should actively coordinate with inpatients, families, and stakeholders.
