Methods: We systematically searched all related evidences from 18 databases, the quality of the studies was evaluated, and evidence was extracted from the literature that met the quality criteria. The JBI's evidence grading and recommendation level system (2014 version) was used to grade the included evidence. Results: Totally 14 literature were included, summarized 28 pieces of evidence, the evidence related to enhance the readiness for hospital discharge of Total Hip Arthroplasty patients was extracted and sorted into 6 aspects, the following were preparing well for surgery, postoperative care and rehabilitation, discharge criteria, health education, home rehabilitation preparation and post-discharge follow-up. Conclusion: This study summarizes the evidence for improving the readiness for discharge of Total Hip Arthroplasty patients, and the evidence summarizing process is scientific, rigorous, and comprehensive. Health care professionals should select evidence to improve the readiness for hospital discharge of Total Hip Arthroplasty patients, taking into account our national situation and individual patient factors.
