Key result
Education, diet, complications, smoking, and drinking were significantly associated with low perceived and psychosocial health scores in COPD patients ready for discharge (p<0.05).
Why the study?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is incurable, making health guidance after hospital discharge crucial, but nursing outcomes and risk factors needed investigation.
Cross-Sectional (n=200)
Yes
p-value: p=<0.05
COPD patients ready for discharge have low perceived and psychosocial health scores, highlighting the need for targeted nursing education addressing specific risk factors like smoking, drinking, and education level.
Low perceived/psychosocial health scores in COPD discharge patients linked to modifiable factors; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a physical and mental disease, and there is currently no cure, so the health guidance of COPD patients after discharge from hospital is crucial. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nursing outcomes and risk factors for patients with COPD discharged from hospital. METHODS: In this study, a total of 200 patients with COPD who were stable and ready to be discharged from two tertiary hospitals in Taiyuan were surveyed by the Nursing Outcome Evaluation Form for COPD patients, and the relevant risk factors of these patients were analysed. RESULTS: The results of this study showed that patients with COPD who were to be discharged from hospital had low scores in the perceived health domain (1.9708 ± 0.70525) and psychosocial health domain (1.5267 ± 0.68289), while the scores in the rest of the domains were above the medium level. The main factors affecting the two domains of the nursing outcome were degree of education, dietary habits, complications (perceived health domain), drinking, marital status, medical insurance and smoking (psychosocial health domain) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Clinical nurses should pay attention to the perceived and psychosocial health domains when educating COPD patients who are to be discharged from hospital, and should primarily focus on the risk factors of smoking and drinking status, degree of education, dietary habits, complications, marital status and medical insurance.

Chai et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (n=200). Risk factors (education, diet, complications, smoking, drinking, marital status, medical insurance) was evaluated on Nursing Outcome Evaluation Form scores (perceived health and psychosocial health domains) (p=<0.05). Education, diet, complications, smoking, and drinking were significantly associated with low perceived and psychosocial health scores in COPD patients ready for discharge (p<0.05).
