BACKGROUND: Women undergoing caesarean section (CS) experience difficulties when preparing for discharge, and readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) may depend on individual characteristics.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the status of RHD in women with CS, identify the latent classes of RHD, and analyse predictors from a bio-psycho-social perspective.

METHODS: A sample of 410 women with CS completed the following questionnaires on demographic and obstetric characteristics: Readiness for Hospital Discharge Study-New Mother Form (RHDS-NMF), Parents' Postnatal Sense of Security (PPSS), Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (OB-QDTS), and Postpartum Support Questionnaire (PSQ). Latent profile analysis was used to identify the latent classes of RHD. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the predictors.

RESULTS: In total, 96.6 % of women with CS reported discharge ready, and the score of RHDS-NMF was 136.09 ± 25.59. Three latent classes were identified as Low RHD (16.1 %), Moderate RHD (41.7 %), and High RHD (42.2 %). Primiparas (OR = 2.867 / 1.773; P = 0.012 / 0.033), emergency CS (OR = 3.134 / 2.470; P = 0.006 / 0.002), lower levels of PPSS (OR = 0.909 / 0.942; P = 0.009 / 0.013) and OB-ODTS (OR = 0.948 / 0.975; P < 0.001) were associated with Moderate and Low RHD. Lower PSQ predicted a higher probability of Low RHD (OR = 0.955; P = 0.038).

CONCLUSIONS: The perception of RHD by women in the study was inaccurate, with more than half not being classified as High RHD. Healthcare professionals can anticipate interventions for maternal well-being based on the characteristics of the different RHD classes.
