The purpose of this research is to clarify the meaning and the specialty of home nursing through classifying and arranging the needs of nursing care and home help. The research was done with two steps.
As the first step the records of the nursing visits and home help visits for 366 patients of 12 Visiting Nurse Service Stations in Japan based on the questionnaire for collecting the needs for nursing and home help services. By the multiple regression analyses the factors which affect the frequencies of visiting services, such as nurse visits and home help visits of both types of shorter visits and longer visits were investigated. Even though extracting the effects by other variables, the numbers of the nursing treatments and the numbers of visits of shorter type visits affected the frequencies of nursing visits. The factors that increase the frequencies by home helpers were the situation of living alone, lower ADL, and the limitation of the available time for caring by family members.
At the second step of this research ninety eight subjects of a visiting nurse service station which provides nurses' visits in day and night by three shifts. Content of provided care to the users were collected from the records of care plan as well as home visits. Based on the data collected, needs for care, the profession and time zone provided were described. Through the content of care provided in each time zone by nurses and home-helpers enabled the quick change of service use and nurses' correspond as well as providing medical treatment especially visiting at night time. As the Conclusion around-the-clock in-home nursing care enabled more clients stay at home through care for dying patients at home and quick response when clients get sick as well as providing medical treatment at home.
