AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how post-stroke fatigue, hope, and discharge readiness interrelate in stroke patients, focusing on the potential mediating role of hope between fatigue and readiness for discharge.
- - It involved a cross-sectional analysis of data from 340 stroke patients using various assessment scales to evaluate discharge readiness, fatigue, and hope levels, revealing that higher fatigue correlates with lower hope and poorer discharge readiness.
- - The findings highlight that reducing post-stroke fatigue and enhancing hope can improve patients’ readiness for discharge, suggesting a need for clinical practices that focus on managing these factors in stroke recovery.
Article Abstract
Aims And Objectives: To explore the relationships among post-stroke fatigue, hope and discharge readiness in stroke patients, and to determine whether hope mediates the relationship between post-stroke fatigue and discharge readiness.
Background: In stroke patients, inadequate discharge readiness has been found to correlate with higher readmission and mortality rates. Although previous qualitative studies have confirmed the impact of fatigue on discharge readiness, few studies explore the impact of post-stroke fatigue and hope on discharge readiness of stroke patients. Consequently, the current research on this relationship and its underlying mechanisms is still quite limited.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Data were collected from 340 stroke patients. The research tools included demographic and disease characteristics, Discharge Readiness Assessment Scale for Stroke, Neurological Fatigue Index for Stroke and Herth Hope Index. The STROBE checklist was used to guide the presentation of this study.
Results: Discharge readiness was negatively correlated with post-stroke fatigue and positively correlated with hope. Additionally, post-stroke fatigue was negatively correlated with hope. Post-stroke fatigue had a direct negative effect on discharge readiness, and it can also generate indirect effects through hope. Hope was the partial mediator between post-stroke fatigue and discharge readiness, explaining 55.8% of the total effect.
Conclusion: Discharge readiness of this population can be improved by reducing post-stroke fatigue and increasing hope. Therefore, effective management of post-stroke fatigue and hope will help improve discharge readiness.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: It is recommended that nursing staff should monitor the occurrence and development of post-stroke fatigue in stroke patients, dynamically evaluate the patient's level of hope, and pay attention to the important role of positive psychological qualities in the outcome of discharge. If medical staff can formulate corresponding intervention measures based on the influence path of discharge readiness, then the discharge readiness of stroke patients can be improved.

Background: Breast milk has significant benefits for preterm babies, but 'very preterm' babies are unable to feed directly from the breast at birth. Their mothers have to initiate and sustain lactation through expressing milk for tube feeding until their babies are developmentally ready to feed orally. There are wide disparities between neonatal units in England in rates of breast milk feeding at discharge.

Importance: Variation in residency case exposure affects resident learning and readiness for future practice. Accurate reporting of case exposure for internal medicine (IM) residents is challenging because feasible and reliable methods for linking patient care to residents are lacking.
Objective: To develop an integrated education-clinical database to characterize and measure case exposure variability among IM residents.

Importance: Higher pediatric readiness has been associated with improved quality and outcomes of care for children. Pediatric emergency care coordinators (PECCs) are a component of pediatric readiness, but the specific association between PECCs and quality-of-care measures is undefined.
Objective: To examine the association between PECC presence and emergency department (ED) performance as reflected by quality-of-care measures.
