THE EFFECT OF APPLICATION-BASED DISCHARGE PLANNING ON THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF STROKE PATIENTS

Stroke is a condition that can cause numerous physical and psychological issues that interfere with her quality of life. The importance of the role of the nurse, the family and the patient's closest people must have an impact on the continuation of post-hospital care. Because they're going to carry out long-term care to stroke patients at home, so discharge planning or planning home is vital in the care of stroke patient during hospitalization. Nonetheless, stories of discharge planning being implemented suboptimally continue to surface. The reason is the application of improper techniques. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of application use on stroke patients' level of knowledge. The research method used is quantitative descriptive research with one group pretest and posttest design. A total of 21 respondents with purposive sampling techniques. The study provides an outcome understanding of the stroke patient's general understanding of stroke such as the definition, signs of symptoms, risk factors, immediate treatment of attacks, permitted or restricted diets and adaptation of the patient to residual stroke symptoms such as paralysis, swallowing disorders, communication impairments, visual impairment, and other disorder. Increased patient understanding of the use of discharge planning applications.
