Determining social support of patients and discharge planning

Abstract

Introduction: Medical social work services are important in helping patients to cope with the social and psychological challenges of illness, to understand a particular illness and its effects, and to make treatment-related decisions. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to study the psychosocial needs and the current state of hospital discharge planning in inpatients at the Mongolian-Japanese Hospital of Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences. Material and study methods: The research team used questionnaires and interviews in this study, which involved 120 patients and conducted one-on-one interviews with 4 doctors and 6 nurses. Results: The results shows that the support from family, friends and other significant people is on average good (6.01). Conclusion: In conclusion, Participants are more likely to receive social support from family, friends, and other important people, but this tends to decrease with age. Lack of information among specialists, services on feedback, and lack of awareness of the importance of care are the disadvantages of discharge planning in Mongolian-Japanese Hospital of MNUMS.
