Résumé

Readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a key concept in the discharge process. This study was conducted to explain the barriers and facilitators of preparation for discharge in patients with MI. A qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis from April 2021 to 2022. Data collection was done in a targeted manner through semi-structured interviews until the data saturation stage. Nineteen participants (11 patients, 3 family members, and 5 healthcare team) were interviewed. Data analysis was done in eight steps according to the suggested steps of Graneheim and Lundman. MAXQDA18 software was used for coding. From the interviews, 348 primary codes, 11 sub-categories, and 5 categories were extracted. Finally, after continuous analysis and comparison of interviews, codes, and categories, two themes including "supporting platform" and "caring atmosphere" were extracted, which were the result of the participants' experience and understanding of the barriers and facilitators of RHD. The supporting platform included "family support" and "social support" and the caring atmosphere included "care gaps" and "professional healthcare team performance". The results of this study indicate several factors affecting RHD in heart attack patients. According to the results of the study, the participation of the patient, family, healthcare team, and community in creating RHD is recommended. It is also suggested to pay attention to these factors in care and treatment planning to help improve health and control complications and prevent re-hospitalization in these patients.

Background UNASSIGNED
Readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a key concept in the discharge process. This study was conducted to explain the barriers and facilitators of preparation for discharge in patients with MI.
Materials and methods UNASSIGNED
A qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis from April 2021 to 2022. Data collection was done in a targeted manner through semi-structured interviews until the data saturation stage. Nineteen participants (11 patients, 3 family members, and 5 healthcare team) were interviewed. Data analysis was done in eight steps according to the suggested steps of Graneheim and Lundman. MAXQDA18 software was used for coding.
Results UNASSIGNED
From the interviews, 348 primary codes, 11 sub-categories, and 5 categories were extracted. Finally, after continuous analysis and comparison of interviews, codes, and categories, two themes including "supporting platform" and "caring atmosphere" were extracted, which were the result of the participants' experience and understanding of the barriers and facilitators of RHD. The supporting platform included "family support" and "social support" and the caring atmosphere included "care gaps" and "professional healthcare team performance".
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
The results of this study indicate several factors affecting RHD in heart attack patients. According to the results of the study, the participation of the patient, family, healthcare team, and community in creating RHD is recommended. It is also suggested to pay attention to these factors in care and treatment planning to help improve health and control complications and prevent re-hospitalization in these patients.
