The present paper investigates what the term discharge planning actually means to nurses working in the acute care environment. A qualitative approach was used for this study. Twelve volunteer registered nurses (RNs) working in a large metropolitan Victorian public hospital were interviewed. All participants stated emphatically that they were involved in the discharge planning process although differing levels of involvement existed. "Organizing" and "planning" were key words used by participants to define the term discharge planning. All but one participant considered the nurse to be the coordinator of the discharge planning process. How participants communicated with other nursing staff regarding the discharge planning needs of individual patients depended on the policy of each individual ward. Communication was perceived to be a major factor that either enhanced or impeded the discharge planning process.
本文探讨了“出院计划”这一术语对在急症护理环境中工作的护士而言究竟意味着什么。本研究采用了定性研究方法。对在维多利亚州一家大型都市公立医院工作的12名志愿注册护士进行了访谈。所有参与者都强调他们参与了出院计划流程，尽管参与程度各不相同。“组织”和“计划”是参与者用来定义“出院计划”这一术语的关键词。除一名参与者外，其他所有参与者都认为护士是出院计划流程的协调者。参与者就个别患者的出院计划需求与其他护理人员的沟通方式取决于各个病房的政策。沟通被视为促进或阻碍出院计划流程的一个主要因素。
