Research Abstract |
The objective of the present study is to clarify the self-care behaviors of families with patients requiring invasive ventilation and their adaptation to life with home care. Subjects were 14 caregivers of patients requiring invasive ventilation. Semi-structured interviews were held, and data were collected. Data analysis was based on the modified grounded theory approach. The results clarified controlling a tense atmosphere and four phases had gradually developed in providing care independently and adapting to home nursing among families with patients requiring invasive ventilation. In the first stage, which began immediately after the start of home nursing, the families "intentionally maintained a tense atmosphere", "evaluated the availability of social resources", and "requested help". In the second stage, the families "negotiated for the acquisition of the necessary resources" and "theorized measures". In the third stage, the families "established daily routines around care" and "constructed own care structures" and in the fourth stage they "escaped from the tense atmosphere" while "beginning to regain their normalcy". When transitioning to the second stage, the families "theorized measures", and when transitioning to "beginning to regain their normalcy", the families communicated smoothly with sick family members and requested other family members involvement with care. In order to facilitate the self-care behaviors of families adapting to home care, it is necessary to support families in acquiring these conditions.
