The Impact of a Transitional Care Management Programme on the Migration Stress of Family Members of Patients

The Impact of a Transitional Care Management Programme on the Migration Stress of Family Members of Patients Transferred Out of the EICU Under the "Health Care-family-environment" Linkage Model
