| The aim of the project is to validate the "care transition measure" (CTM) for assessment of the quality and safety of discharge from the patient's perspective and the "post-discharge coping difficulties scale" (PDCDS) for assessment of problems and difficulties at home after discharge in the German language. In addition to factor-analytical tests, correlation analyses with health-related variables will be conducted to test construct and criterion validity. For this purpose, the participants will be surveyed via a self-report questionnaire. In addition, findings on wishes and needs as well as the acceptance of digital health applications in the context of discharge from the patients' perspective will be obtained. This information will be obtained via qualitative interviews. | — |
