Özet

Background: Discharge training is a important process during which patients’ needs are identified, and required

plans are made.

Objectives: This study was in order to evaluate whether discharge training given to the patients, who were

hospitalized in internal medicine and surgery services, was appropriate for patients’ needs.

Methods: The Study was carried out as cross-sectional and descriptive with 88 patients. Data were collected

through face-to-face interviewing method by using a questionnaire form.

Results: 68.2% of the patients included in the study indicated that they did not get discharge training. Most of

the patients indicated that they got training from the doctor and on the day of discharge from the hospital.

Conclusion: Our results suggested that the number of patients, who got individualized care, was low; nurses

were not active in discharge training and timing of discharge training was inappropriate.
