Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of the readiness for hospital discharge and pain degree in inpatients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures, and the correlation between them.Methods A cross-sectional analysis of survey data from a sample of 252 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures was conducted in a grade A tertiary hospital in Xi′an from January 1st, 2016 to June 30th, 2016. The status of the readiness for hospital discharge and pain level were investigated through the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to detect the correlation between the two target factors. Results The average score of readiness for hospital discharge was 7.71±1.55. The mean NRS score decreased from 7.8 ± 0.8 at baseline to 2.7 ± 0.6 before discharge. The scores of each dimensions of readiness for hospital discharge from high to low were expected support, personal status, and coping capacity. There was a negative correlation between discharge readiness and pain degree in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures (r =-0.537, P<0.05). Conclusions The status of the readiness for hospital discharge among the patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures is in a medium to high level before discharge. The pain degree is significantly decreased to a lower level. There is a negative correlation between the readiness for hospital discharge and the pain degree.
