| Sumario: | This study has the objective of describing the perception of the nursing team regarding discharge planning for individuals affected by strokes. It is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, conducted with 13 nursing professionals from a general hospital in the northwest region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded, fully transcribed, and subjected to content analysis. Two categories were identified: Perception of the nursing team regarding hospital discharge planning for people with strokes; and Perception of the nursing team regarding preparing relatives/caregivers for the discharge of people with strokes. In the first category, nursing professionals emphasize the importance of discharge planning, taking the lead in this process, coordinating the multidisciplinary team, and guiding relatives to effectively communicate with primary health care services. In the second category, nursing professionals conduct educational actions to enhance the insertion and knowledge of users and their relatives about post-discharge care. They also identify challenges related to the adherence of family members to take part in these actions, as well as the high turnover of this group. In conclusion, nursing professionals understand the process of preparation for hospital discharge, emphasizing the central role of the nurse and recognizing the crucial participation of other members of the multidisciplinary team, providing guidance, and promoting health education for caregivers. In addition, they highlight the need to consider other critical health-related points to reduce risks and prevent possible readmissions. |
