The samples consisted of 2 groups; one group was the discharge planning activities in an experimental area (17 times) and a control area (13 times), another group was person regarding stroke patient discharge included administrators, service providers, and clients. The research instruments included a new working model of stroke patient discharge, three recording forms, and three questionnaires. The implementation and data collection were conducted from January to May, 2015. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for data analysis.</p> <p>The research results revealed that 1) the new working model of stroke patient discharge has been developed by applying relevant academic concepts and principles; and 2) after the experiment, an experimental area had statistically significant better working results than before the experiment:- the average work quantity per workforce increased (<em>p</em> < .05), the average work quantity per workforce in discharge day decreased (<em>p</em> < .001), the accuracy of work increased (<em>p</em> < .001), the average workforce consumed decreased (<em>p</em> < .01), the service providers’ satisfaction increased (<em>p</em> < .001), the clients’ satisfaction increased (<em>p</em> < .001), and cost per service providing unit decreased (<em>p</em> < .05).</p> <p>This research suggests that the providers in medical ward should implement this model in stroke patients in order to ensure that appropriate post-discharges are in an effective manner. Additionally, the nurse administrators should promote this discharge planning as a guideline to effective hospital discharge in other chronic illness patients.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Phrapokklao Nursing College, Chanthaburi}, author={Arunsuriyasak, Rapeewan and Torugsa, Somchart}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={88–101} }
