Objective: To explore the effect of transitional care and its impact on quality of life (QoL) in patients who underwent total laryngectomy.
Methods: The study enrolled 68 patients who were admitted to our hospital and underwent total laryngectomy from January 2017 to January 2019. The subjects were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. Conventional care was given to the control group (34 cases), while conventional and transitional care was given to the observation group (34 cases). The study sought to compare the self-care ability, health knowledge, satisfaction with nursing, and QoL between the two groups at discharge and 6 months after discharge.
Result: Compared with the control group, the observation group showed higher scores in self-care ability, more extensive health knowledge, greater satisfaction, and better QoL at 6 months after discharge from the hospital. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Transitional care can effectively improve the following performance in patients, including self-care activity after hospital discharge, health knowledge, and satisfaction with care, medication adherence, and QoL. Transitional care can be considered in a broader application.

Aim: The aim was to explore the experiences of midwifery faculty in low- and middle-income countries in the Asia Pacific region regarding their pathway to being a faculty member, programs of development and/or factors that supported their transition to faculty.
Utilization of transitional care management services and 30-day readmission.

Transitional care management (TCM) visits have been shown to reduce 30-day readmissions, but it is unclear whether the decrease arises from the TCM visit itself or from clinic-level changes to meet the requirements of the TCM visits. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from Northwell Health to examine the association between the type of post-discharge follow-up visits (TCM visits versus non-TCM visits based on billing) and 30-day readmission. Furthermore, we assessed whether being seen by a provider who frequently utilizes TCM visits or the TCM visit itself was associated with 30-day readmission.
