Discharge care is crucial for maintaining patients' quality of life post-hospitalization. A cross-sectional study in a Malaysian teaching hospital explored patients' discharge care experiences, hospitalization experiences, age, and education level. Using simple random sampling, 118 respondents participated. Data were collected via questionnaires and assessed using DICARES and NORPEQ. Results showed that 71% had an excellent discharge care experience. Significant correlations were found between discharge care and hospitalization experience (rho = 0.539, p < 0.001), education level, post-discharge coping, treatment adherence, and discharge planning participation. Nurse Managers should prioritize discharge care and integrate advanced technology for home referrals, promoting healthcare optimism.
