Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the relationship between satisfaction with nursing care and readiness for discharge among elderly patients after cardiac surgery at Shahid Rajaee Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran.
Background. Satisfaction with nursing care and readiness for hospital discharge are essential indicators of healthcare quality. With the growing elderly population and increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, assessing these variables in cardiac surgery patients is of great importance.
Method. In this descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study, 300 elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery were enrolled using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS), and the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
Findings. The mean satisfaction score was 53.22±8.4, and the mean discharge readiness score was 6.1±1.7. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between satisfaction with nursing care and discharge readiness (r=0.46, p≤0.0001). Gender and education level were associated with satisfaction, while income level was associated with discharge readiness.
Conclusion. The findings indicated that patient satisfaction with nursing care is positively related to discharge readiness. Enhancing discharge education, nurse–patient communication, and nursing care quality can improve readiness for discharge among elderly cardiac surgery patients.

This concept is influenced by individual characteristics such as hope, optimism, and coping strategies, as well as social and environmental factors like social support, community cohesion, and effective governance, which play a key role in shaping resilience.
Methodology. In this review study, the keywords resilience, nurses, and intensive care unit, along with their English equivalents, were used. The Persian databases utilized included SID, MagIran, IranMedex, and the database of scientific journals of medical universities in the country. International databases included PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and the Google Scholar search engine was also used. Ultimately, 20 articles were evaluated in the study.
Findings. Resilience in ICU nurses is a vital construction influenced by various factors. To improve nurses' resilience, interventions should be comprehensive, targeting both individual and organizational factors.
Conclusion. Regular assessment of nurses' resilience levels and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions through continuous qualitative and quantitative research are essential to ensure that strategies adapt to the changing needs of this critical group of healthcare personnel. This approach will not only improve the mental health of nurses but also directly lead to an enhancement in the quality of healthcare and the sustainability of the nursing workforce in the future.
