Introduction: Discharge planning is an important part of the nursing process because it can assist patients and families in preparing for future care at home. Discharge planning that begins from the outset can shorten the length of stay of patients in the hospital, reduce readmission following hospitalization, and arrange for patient discharge on time. Several factors influence the implementation of discharge planning. It is intended that by understanding all the factors that influence discharge planning, the implementation of discharge planning may be optimized. The study aims to determine the factors associated with the implementation of discharge planning in one of the private hospitals in Purwakarta. Materials and methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design with total population sampling. Nurses' knowledge, motivation, education level, and work length were all studied. The study involved 162 inpatient room nurses and critical care rooms. The instrument was an online questionnaire that had been validated and reliable. This study has been ethically approved. Results: Most respondents have a bachelor’s degree (74%), work experience ≤5 years (61%), good motivation (86.4%), sufficient knowledge (64.8%), and good discharge planning implementation (91.4%). The findings revealed a relationship between nurse motivation and discharge planning implementation; however, knowledge, education level, and nurses' work length were unrelated to the implementation. Conclusion: Nurse motivation is critical for successful hospital discharge planning implementation. Hospitals can boost nurse motivation in discharge planning implementation by mentoring, monitoring, and rewarding nurses who perform well.
