Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of discharge preparation service based on timing theory on the care readiness and benefit finding of caregivers for elderly dementia patients.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2022, 100 caregivers of elderly dementia patients from the Neurology Department and Rehabilitation Department of Jingjiang People's Hospital were selected as the subject by convenient sampling. Caregivers were divided into a control group and a study group based on their enrollment time, with 50 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the study group was treated with discharge preparation services based on timing theory. The effect was evaluated using the Caregiver Preparedness Scale (CPS) and Caregiver Benefit Finding Questionnaire.Results:After intervention, the CPS score of the study group was (22.80±2.83), which was higher than the control group's (17.92±2.60), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After three months of discharge, the score of the Caregiver Benefit Finding Questionnaire in the study group was (117.50±6.25), which was higher than the control group's (109.98±9.89), and the difference was also statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The discharge preparation service based on timing it right can improve the care readiness and benefit finding of caregivers for elderly dementia patients.
