BEHAVIORAL

Nursing discharge teaching

Nurses will provide multimorbid seniors inpatients with teaching related to self-management to prepare them to be discharged home. The teaching delivery will be tailored to patients' activation level and priorities. The intervention begins by determining the level of activation at which patients are and identifying priorities to address related to patients' life situation. A Discharge Teaching Guide will be used by nurses to deliver the teaching and includes six domains of self-management. For each domain, nurses first report whether a priority has been identified and what intervention they have proposed to address it. Then for each domain, teaching objectives are described and differ according to the level of patient activation. These six domains of self-management are found in the patient-oriented discharge summary, which is a document for the patient that summarizes what has been addressed in discharge teaching.
