Exploring the factors affecting the readiness for hospital discharge after total knee arthroplasty: A structural equation model approach.
Article in Nursing open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo investigate the factors that influence readiness for hospital discharge in Chinese patients after total knee arthroplasty and to identify priorities for nursing interventions.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsFrom January to August 2022, data were collected from 339 patients at two tertiary A-level hospitals in Jinan, Shandong Province. SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 8.3 software were used for statistical analysis.
resultsResults from multiple linear regression showed that patients' age, residence status, education level, knee pain during sleep, quality of discharge teaching, self-efficacy for rehabilitation, pain control knowledge, and social support were factors influencing their readiness for hospital discharge. The results of the structural equation model had shown that there were also indirect effects of the education level, knee pain during sleep, quality of discharge teaching, and pain control knowledge.
conclusionPatients' readiness for hospital discharge needs further improvement, hence physicians and nurses should judiciously allocate medical resources and concentrate their efforts on high-risk groups characterized by low readiness for hospital discharge. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: This study underscores the importance of physicians and nurses prioritizing key factors such as age, residency status, education level, and social support in total knee arthroplasty patients to enhance their readiness for hospital discharge. By implementing targeted discharge planning, effective pain management, and comprehensive rehabilitation education, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes. IMPACT: This study identified key factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge in total knee arthroplasty patients, guiding targeted nursing interventions to improve post-operative care. REPORTING
methodSTROBE. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The participants recruited for this study were actively engaged in the data collection process.
