“…Many studies from all over the world have repeatedly reported that many people who have been discharged from hospital to home, especially the elderly, encounter a variety of problems in the first weeks after their return home. Problems after discharge include dependence on others with regard to household activities [1-6], lower levels of independence in activities of daily living and self-care deficits [2,3,5-12], difficulty with reading medication labels or instilling eyedrops [13,14], not getting the help they needed [4,5,13,15-23], not being aware of available services [24-26], informational needs [4,13,26-30], symptom distress [28,31-33], social problems [34] and emotional problems as anxiety and uncertainty [7,29,35]. The post-discharge problems seem to be more common with increased age and in women [36] and may lead to further complications and unplanned hospital readmissions.…”
