Plain-language summary
A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.
Study focus
This study evaluated a three-dimensional integrated discharge preparation plan for patients with Type 2 Diabetes, finding significant improvements in discharge readiness and glycemic control.
Improving discharge readiness and glycemic control is crucial for patients with Type 2 Diabetes, as it can lead to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. This study's findings suggest that structured discharge planning can effectively support patients in managing their condition post-hospitalization.
Study design may limit generalizability to broader populations. Sample size and demographic diversity were not specified. Long-term effects beyond 3 months were not assessed.

Intervention group had higher RHDS scores at discharge (75.4 vs. 62.6, p < 0.001).
Intervention group showed improved self-management (SDSCA scores at 3 months: 78.0 vs. 60.7, p < 0.001).
3-month all-cause readmission rate was lower in the intervention group (5.00% vs. 16.67%, p = 0.040).
