Abstract
Background: The thorough preparation of preterm babies for release home is strongly linked to the decision-making process about their discharge and has a significant impact on their health outcomes. It is crucial in facilitating a seamless transition from the hospital to their home environment.
Methods: This paper examines the concept, research significance, assessment, and factors that affect the readiness of preterm infants to be discharged from the hospital. Specifically, we will focus on the impact of various factors, including the infants' characteristics, carers', hospital, and social factors. The goal is to provide a valuable reference for clinical practice.
Results: The factors influencing discharge family readiness can be divided into four areas, which are factors related to preterm infants, factors related to parents, factors related to the hospital, and issues related to the social environment.
Conclusion: Ensuring families receive adequate support and assessing their readiness for discharge is vital. Additionally, using personalized guidance techniques is also crucial for protecting the well-being of premature newborns and improving the overall health outcomes for their families.
