Özet
The aim of this study was to determine the information status of patients during the safe discharge process and the role of nurses in the relevant process. The sample of the study consisted of 506 patients who were discharged from the general surgery, orthopedics and urology services, where most operations occur, in a state hospital and a university hospital. Data were collected by using the practices for safe discharge at university and state hospitals form and personal description form. The practices for safe discharge form consisted of five dimensions: medication, food and drinks, activity/special restrictions, appointment and support services. The medication dimension (7.56 +/- 2.08) and activity/special restrictions dimension (7.46 +/- 1.14) of the practices for safe discharge form was found to be lower than the other dimensions (food, appointment and support services). It was determined that nurses did not participate actively in the patient informing process during discharge. Patient companions were reported to be given more attention and to be informed compared to other situations. According to the results of the study, it was determined that post-discharge patients were not informed adequately about medication and activity/ special restrictions, and nurses did not actively participate in patient information processes during safe discharge. In addition, it was determined that the companions were excluded from the safe discharge process of the patients.
