The Effect of Special Discharge Training in the COVID-19
The Effect of Special Discharge Training Prepared for Geriatric Patients in the COVID-19 Service on Daily Life Activities and Quality of Life
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of specialized discharge education on the daily life activities and quality of life of geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards. The motivation behind this study stems from the vulnerability of elderly patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of tailored education to support their daily life activities and enhance their quality of life after discharge. The primary objective of this article is to determine the specific type of specialized discharge education that geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards require to improve their ability to sustain daily life activities and enhance their quality of life.
The central idea of this study is that providing specialized discharge education to geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards can result in improvements in their daily life activities and quality of life. The main findings of the study demonstrate a significant enhancement in daily life activities and quality of life among patients who received specialized discharge education. These individuals exhibited increased independence in mobility, improved performance in daily life activities, and reported an overall improvement in their quality of life.
These findings underscore the significance of specialized discharge education for geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards and highlight its positive impact on their health outcomes and quality of life.

Detailed Description
Purpose: This research aimed to determine the impact of specialized discharge training on the daily living activities and quality of life of geriatric patients admitted to the COVID-19 ward.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on geriatric patients admitted to a training and research hospital's COVID-19 ward between April 1 and July 1, 2022. A control group of 40 individuals and a study group of 40 individuals, both meeting the inclusion criteria, were established. Research data were collected using the Descriptive Features Form, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and SF-12 Quality of Life Scale.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control Group:
Initially, the Patient Diagnostic Information Form was completed. Patients were informed about the discharge process according to the regular ward procedure and were informed about their participation in the study after discharge. One month later, patients were contacted by phone, and the Daily Life Activities Scale (DLAS) and Quality of Life Scale (SF-12) forms were completed during 10-15 minute conversations. |
|
Experimental: Study Group:
After obtaining informed consent from the patients, they were enrolled in the study. The COVID-19 Discharge Education Brochure, prepared by the researchers, was provided to the patients face-to-face within 10-15 minutes. One month after the discharge education, patients were contacted by phone, and the Daily Life Activities Scale (DLAS) and Quality of Life Scale (SF-12) forms were completed. |
A discharge education brochure has been developed based on information from the literature to complement the verbal information provided to patients. The content of the education brochure includes the following:

Katz Daily Life Activities Scale (GYA):
Time Frame: 0 day
|
The Katz Daily Life Activities Scale (GYA) was developed by Katz and colleagues in 1963 to assess activities essential for daily life.
The scale measures the scores of key elements related to daily life activities, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, continence, and feeding.
The GYA index categorizes scores as dependent (0-6 points), partially dependent (7-12 points), and independent (13-18 points).
The scale has been translated into Turkish and validated by Yardımcı E., with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.73.
Response options in the Katz GYA scale include "independent," "partially dependent," and "dependent."

Quality of Life Scale (SF-12):
Time Frame: 0 day
|
The SF-12 Quality of Life Scale is a widely used instrument that assesses the quality of life over the past four weeks, encompassing various age and disease groups.
The Turkish version of the scale, including its reliability and validity study, was conducted by Soylu and Kütük (2022).
The SF-12 consists of 12 questions selected from the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale.
It comprises eight sub-dimensions and 12 items, including physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health.
The SF-12 yields two summary scores: the Physical Component Summary Score (PCSS) and the Mental Component Summary Score (MCSS).
The scale demonstrates a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.72.
