Baseline data were collected within 24\u2009h before discharge using the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale, the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale. Quality of life was assessed 30 and 90\u2009days after discharge using the 8\u2010item Short Form Health Survey. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis (enter method) were used to analyse the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 186 patients completed baseline assessment (184 at 30\u2009days; 180 at 90\u2009days). The mean readiness for hospital discharge score was 153.74\u2009\u00b1\u200931.85, with a mean item score of 6.99\u2009\u00b1\u20091.45, indicating low readiness. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that quality of discharge teaching, social support, health literacy, and having a college degree or above were the main associated factors of readiness for hospital discharge. Together, these associated factors accounted for 30.0% of the total variance. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between readiness for hospital discharge and quality of life at 30 and 90\u2009days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients undergoing surgery for type A aortic dissection have low readiness for hospital discharge, which is associated with quality of discharge teaching, social support, health literacy, and educational level.
