The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effect of discharge planning based on theory of goal attainment on caring behavior at home. Forty mothers of preterm infants hospitalized at Thammasat University Hospital were assigned to the experimental and control group based on the sequence of hospitalization. The first 20 mothers were assigned to the control group. Another 20 mothers paired by their education level with those in the control group were assigned to the experimental group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received discharge planning based on theory of goal attainment. The intervention consisted of 6 steps: 1) interaction 2) assessment to identify problems and disturbance 3) mutual goals setting 4) explore the means to achieve goal 5) Agree to means to implement the goal and 6) transaction. Mothers’ caring behavior for preterm infants at home was measured by preterm infants caring behavior of mother questionnaire. This instrument demonstrated acceptable content validity index (.94) and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (.89). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test. Mothers receiving discharge planning program based on theory of goal attainment were found to perform better caring behavior for preterm infants at home than mothers receiving the routine nursing care, at the statistical significance level of .05.
