Supports cautious use of French RHDS in discharge planning; leaves open full validation and subscale adaptation in Swiss contexts.
Cross-Sectional (n=265)
Effect estimate: Cronbach's α = 0.80
The French version of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale shows acceptable reliability but requires further adaptation for the Swiss context.
Mabire et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in older inpatients (n=265). Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-French version was evaluated on Reliability and factor structure (Cronbach's α = 0.80). The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-French version demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.80) but lacked the Expected Support subscale found in the English version.
