Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a discharge plan model for South Korean patients with cancer who had completed treatment and were returning to the community. Overall, 23 patients with cancer were recruited at the National Cancer Center in Goyang-si. The effectiveness of the discharge plan was examined using four methods: Social Needs Screening Toolkit (2018), early screening for discharge plan, current life situation v.2.0, and a questionnaire regarding problems after discharge from the hospital. Subsequently, the results were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis methods with the Stata 14.0 program. The largest age group of study participants was between 45 and 64 years. No participants responded to urgent needs, whereas nine (39.13%) participants needed support for their social needs. According to the in-depth evaluation of participants, more than 80% of the respondents answered that patients with cancer needed no help in self-management, daily living activities, or mental health. The satisfaction survey results showed that the degree to which the “discharge plan” was helpful for health management at home after discharge was 4.41 of 5, and the degree to which it helped return to daily life was 3.86 of 5.
