Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of specialized discharge education on the daily life activities and quality of life of geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards. The motivation behind this study stems from the vulnerability of elderly patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of tailored education to support their daily life activities and enhance their quality of life after discharge. The primary objective of this article is to determine the specific type of specialized discharge education that geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards require to improve their ability to sustain daily life activities and enhance their quality of life.

The central idea of this study is that providing specialized discharge education to geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards can result in improvements in their daily life activities and quality of life. The main findings of the study demonstrate a significant enhancement in daily life activities and quality of life among patients who received specialized discharge education. These individuals exhibited increased independence in mobility, improved performance in daily life activities, and reported an overall improvement in their quality of life.

These findings underscore the significance of specialized discharge education for geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards and highlight its positive impact on their health outcomes and quality of life.
