Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the transition of care for post-hospitalization patients due to covid-19 in a hospital in northeastern Brazil. METHODS: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study carried out between 2020 and 2021. The sample had 78 patients. Data collection took place by telephone with the support of a sociodemographic questionnaire and the care transition assessment instrument (Care Transitions Measure). RESULTS: The average length of stay was 24.04 days. The average score for care transition was 71.68 (±11.71). "Self-management training" and "Understanding of medications" had higher averages, 75.15 (±13.76) and 74.10 (±16.20). CONCLUSIONS: The average length of stay was 24.04 days. The average score for care transition was 71.68 (±11.71). "Self-management training" and "Understanding of medications" had higher averages, 75.15 (±13.76) and 74.10 (±16.20).
