Abstract
Difficulties following discharge in patients with closed leg fractures undergoing open reduction internal fixation surgery had an effect on complete bone recovery and healing. This descriptive study aimed to study the relationship between readiness before discharge, pain, anxiety, and difficulties following discharge from the hospital. The sample consisted of 100 patients with closed leg fractures undergoing open reduction internal fixation surgery. The research instrument composed of questionnaire on perception of readiness before discharge from hospital, pain questionnaire, anxiety questionnaire, and questionnaire on difficulties following discharge from the hospital. Cron
bach alpha coefficients of those questionnaires were .82, .90, .85, and .86, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient.
The results found that the sample had a high level perception of readiness before discharged from the hospital (M 160.44, SD 38.05). The average scores on pain, anxiety, and difficulties following discharge from the hospital were quite low (M 2.39, SD 1.33; M 29.26, SD 9.50 และ M 23.71, SD 12.76, respectively). There was a statistically significant positive relationship at a high level between difficulties following discharge from the hospital and perception of readiness before discharge from the hospital, pain and anxiety r .81, r .88, r .93, respectively (p <.05).
