Readiness for hospital discharge among patients requiring home nutrition support: a cross-sectional study.
Patients requiring home nutrition support were only moderately ready for discharge. Enhancing the quality of education on patient discharge could significantly improve readiness for discharge, in which patients who have been admitted for longer periods require more attention. They are expected to utilize home nutrition support in the long-term, are at risk of malnutrition, are using home nutrition support for the first time, or have a digestive system malignancy.
