Prevalence, Predictors and Reasons for Discharge Against Medical Advice Among Patients With Chronic Disease During COVID-19.
Background: Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) is used in healthcare facilities in a situation where patients refuse care or decide to leave the hospital before the treating physician recommends discharge. Previous studies have found DAMA to be prevalent among patients with various chronic conditions. The study had four objectives. The study aimed to investigate: (1) the prevalence of DAMA during COVID-19 (2020-2021) among Jordanian patients with chronic diseases, (2) the association between DAMA and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with chronic diseases, (3) the predictors of DAMA and (4) the reasons behind DAMA at the patient, hospital and environmental levels.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional correlational design was used in the study. A convenience sampling approach was used to collect data from 1576 patients with chronic diseases from 3 private hospitals.
Results: The study found that the prevalence rate of DAMA was 33.3%. There was a significant association between the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with chronic diseases and DAMA. Health insurance found to be the strongest predictor of DAMA. Finally, the study found that patient, hospital and environmental-related factors had a low impact on DAMA.
Conclusions: DAMA is prevalent among patients with chronic diseases in Jordan during COVID-19 pandemic. The current study's findings can serve as an empirical basis for planning and implementing DAMA prevention programs and/or establishing or revising policies for the target population.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
