To investigate the correlation of readiness for hospital discharge, the chronic illness resources, and postdischarge outcomes of diabetic foot ulcer patients, which can be help for discharged patient rehabilitation.
A cross-sectional study.
One hundred and seventy-nine patients were recruited from the Endocrinology units of two tertiary hospitals between November 2018-September 2019, in Guangdong, China. The methods used were Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale, The Chronic Illness Resources Survey and one-on-one telephone interviews.
Pearson correlation coefficients indicated moderate correlation between the readiness for discharge and resource availability for chronic illnesses (r = .446, p < .001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Chronic Illness Resources Survey, self-care ability, methods of wound treatments after discharge, and living alone were the main predictors of readiness for hospital discharge among diabetic foot ulcer patients (F = 12.272, p < .001, R = .621, = .571). The study was limited by location, patient's recall bias and lack of BADL scale, which can be further improved in subsequent studies by developing multi-centre clinical study and adopting more objective assessment tools.
调查糖尿病足溃疡患者出院准备度、慢性病资源与出院后结局的相关性，为出院患者康复提供帮助。
横断面研究。
2018 年 11 月至 2019 年 9 月，在中国广东的两家三级医院内分泌科招募了 179 名患者。采用的方法有出院准备度量表、慢性病资源调查和一对一电话访谈。
Pearson 相关系数表明，出院准备度与慢性病资源可用性之间存在中度相关（r =.446，p <.001）。多元线性回归分析显示，慢性病资源调查、自我护理能力、出院后伤口处理方法和独居是糖尿病足溃疡患者出院准备度的主要预测因素（F = 12.272，p <.001，R ² =.621，调整 R ² =.571）。该研究受到地点、患者回忆偏差和缺乏 BADL 量表的限制，在后续研究中可以通过开展多中心临床研究和采用更客观的评估工具来进一步改进。
