“…Tird, hospital managers should adhere to a "patient-centered" management model and develop personalized discharge services for patients from the start of their visit. Finally, hospitals should work with the community to assign postdischarge rehabilitation plans for patients in the context of their condition in order to reduce their uncertainty after discharge and improve their RHD [57][58][59][60].…”

Aims and Objectives. To identify and explore assess factors that influence patients’ readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Background. Evidence has suggested that most clinical staff use clinical laboratory indicators to determine discharge times, while paying little attention to patients’ feelings and needs. Additional research findings have suggested a relationship between patients’ self-reported readiness for hospital discharge and postdischarge complication rates, readmission rates, mortality, as well as quality of life. RHD is strongly associated with patient health outcomes. Identifying relevant influencing factors can provide guidance for early individualized interventions by healthcare professionals. Design. A cross-sectional study. Methods. During 2022, a total of 320 post-TKA patients were selected for this study. The patients were divided into the low-RHD group (<7 points) and the high-RHD group (≥7 points) according to the mean score of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS). Established scales were used to collect patients’ information and to adopt univariate and binary logistic regression analysis to screen for independent factors. Results. In this study, the RHDS score of patients after TKA is 91.90 ± 7.05, of which 12.8% are in the low-RHD group (mean score <7). The binary logistic regression results reveal that age, educational level, postactivity pain, self-efficacy, and family care have to be considered risk factors generating low-RHD in TKA patients. Conclusions. The present study suggests that over 1/8 TKA patients are not ready at the time of discharge. Physicians and nurses can improve patients’ RHD by reducing postactivity pain and improving self-efficacy during their rehabilitation period. Relevance to Clinical Practice. The results of this study can help physicians and nurses early identify high-risk patients with low RHD and provide them with individualized interventions. In addition to this, it is important that nurses use RHDS to assess the readiness of TKA patients before they are discharged from the hospital.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation using bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells is a lifesaving treatment for patients with leukemia or other blood disorders. Hematopoietic stem cell donors are afraid of harming themselves by donating and are also under pressure from other relatives. Therefore, it is easy to produce negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, panic, depression and so on during the donation period. Although major physical complications of hematopoietic stem cell donors are uncommon, their psychosocial impact remains relatively unknown. Methods：The authors undertook a Rapid Literature Review focusing on articles published from 2020 to 2022 thus offering the readers access to most up-to-date evidence concerning the topic. This article, therefore, adopts a narrative review methodology. Results: A total of 7 articles were identified and scrutinized. Hematopoietic stem cell donors generally suffered from physical and mental discomfort. Factors influencing psychological experiences included donation stage, gender, kinship, and transplant results. Main Contribution to Evidence-Based Practice: The purpose of this rapid literature review is to identify the most recent evidence and knowledge concerning psychological experiences of hematopoietic stem cell donors, in-depth analysis of the real psychological feelings of hematopoietic stem cell donors, in order to further improve the quality of nursing services, relieve the doubts of hematopoietic stem cell donors and mobilize the motivation of hematopoietic stem cell donors provides a reference.

Background: Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are more likely to develop pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, and to have the birth induced, suffer trauma to the perineum during birth, or to give birth by caesarean section.Good blood glucose control throughout pregnancy will reduce the risk of fetal macrosomia, trauma during birth (for her and her baby), induction of labor and/or caesarean section, neonatal hypoglycemia, and perinatal death. Monitoring of blood glucose levels is an important way to maintain control of sugar concentrations in the blood.However, it is not clear which is best method or frequency for monitoring blood glucose for limiting health complications for women and their babies.The purpose of this rapid literature review is to identify the most recent evidence and knowledge concerning blood glucose monitoring in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods: We undertook a Rapid Literature Review focusing on articles published from 2020 to 2022 thus offering the readers access to most up-to-date evidence concerning the topic. We searched the online databases of Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and BMJ from January 2020 till May 15, 2022. Inclusion criteria were studies of blood glucose monitoring for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: Nine papers were included in the final review. Recent evidence on frequency of blood glucose monitoring, new glucose monitoring technologies, remote monitoring technologies and reminder systems in blood glucose monitoring were summarized. Main Contribution to Evidence-Based Practice: Recommendations for frequency of blood glucose monitoring should be tailored according to pregnant women’s blood glucose management plan. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) should be considered for pregnant women under some specific conditions. Remote monitoring technologies or reminder systems based on smartphones, computers and tablets could be considered to improve patient’s compliance toward blood glucose monitoring.
