Objective: Preliminary effectiveness test of a novel structured personalized discharge teaching intervention for multimorbid inpatients.
Methods: Using a 2-group sequential pre/post-intervention design, the sample comprised 68 pre-intervention control group and 70 post- intervention group participants. The discharge teaching intervention by trained clinical nurses used structured tools to engage patients and individualize discharge teaching. Outcomes measures included Patient Activation Measure, Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale, Discharge Care Experiences Survey, and readmission with 10 days post-discharge.
Results: The intervention had a statistically significant positive effect on improving patient activation (M=4.8; p = 0.05) from admission to post-discharge. The participation subscale of the Discharge Care Experiences Survey was higher in the intervention (M=4.1, SD=0.7) than the control group (M=3.8, SD=0.7; t (127)= -2.79, p = .01, effect size= .34). There were no significant between-group differences in Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and readmission.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that a structured personalized discharge teaching intervention can improve patient activation and participation in discharge care. Further refinement of the intervention is needed to evaluate and improve specific components of the intervention.
Practice Implications: Structured personalized discharge teaching should include patient engagement strategies in the teaching-learning process.

Purpose: A quarter of ICU-patients develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after discharge. These patients could benefit from early detection of PTSD. Therefore, we explored the accuracy of text mining with self-narratives to identify intensive care unit (ICU) patients and surviving relatives at risk of PTSD in a pilot study.

Background: Limited data exist describing the influence of pharmacist-led transition of care (TOC) services in safety-net hospital settings.
Objective: This analysis assessed the impact of pharmacist-led TOC services on hospital readmissions in a high-risk managed Medicaid population impacted by housing instability, substance use disorder (SUD), and mental health issues.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of patients who received safety-net hospital-based TOC pharmacy services between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, was conducted.
Effect of Early Postoperative Physical Therapy and Educational Program on Wound Recurrence in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study aimed to examine the impact of early postoperative physical therapy combined with an educational program on wound recurrence and quality of life in patients with foot ulcers. Forty-eight postoperative patients with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received both physical therapy and an educational program ( = 25), or a control group, which received physical therapy only ( = 23). Each intervention was initiated on the day after surgery in both groups.
