Factors Influencing Maternal Readiness for Hospital Discharge: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 assess mainland Chinese mothers' readiness for hospital discharge and related factors after childbirth.
designA descriptive cross-sectional study.
methodsConvenience sampling was employed to select women who gave birth at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen, China, between May 2024 and February 2025. Maternal readiness for hospital discharge was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Study-New Mother Form. Data were analysed using an independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsThe study included 308 mothers aged 20-41 years (31.15 ± 4.14). The total readiness score for hospital discharge was in the range of 54-180 (132.17 ± 22.59). The 'delivery' dimension in the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale-New Mother Form and the 'lifestyle and behavior' and 'basic skills' dimensions in the Perinatal Maternal Health Literacy Scale were independent factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge (p < 0.05) among mothers after childbirth.
conclusionsMaternal readiness for hospital discharge must be enhanced. This could be done by improving the quality of discharge teaching and maternal health literacy. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
