Abstract
Introduction: Discharge planning starts at admission and begins by determining the educational needs. A lack of knowledge results in a lack of awareness of the risk factors, healthy behavior, decreased compliance and increased stress and depression for the patients. The objective of this study was to explore the implementation of discharge planning held by multidisciplinary professionals for STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) patients. Methods:. The design of this study was descriptive and the data was collected through in-depth interviews with the participants. The results of the interview were transcribed verbatim, and then a FGD (Focus Group Discussion) was conducted. The participants consisted of 11 nurses, 1 nutritionist and 1 pharmacist with a minimum working period of 2-10 years. Sampling started with the purposive sampling method. Results: Several things influence the implementation of discharge planning viewed from the perspective of multidisciplinary professionals according to productivity theory in the organization of a cooperative, namely the motivation of the health workers, the abilities and knowledge of the health workers, the job design and the work schedule involved. Of the 5 themes, motivation and work schedules were most often found to require completion, so the implementation of discharge planning according to the set standards and work schedules of the health workers can be optimized.Of the 5 themes that emerged, motivation and work schedules were the most frequently found and this needs to be addressed as soon as possible to avoid the worsening of the condition of STEMI patients. Conclusion: For the future, it is necessary to have digital guideline/tools available that can be easily accessed by multidisciplinary professionals to make the work schedule for health workers optimal to improve the health services.
