Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interviews were conducted on users of home-visit nursing care service and their families, and qualitative descriptive analyses were conducted thereof. As a result, the following physical aspects were extracted: ①slight changes were not overlooked and help was provided to receive necessary medical care, ②initial advice and guidance were given for controlling symptoms, etc. In addition, the psychological and emotional aspects were also extracted as follows: ① the user could have conversations with someone other than his/her family and the nursing staff could have conversations with the family, ② consultations could be requested anytime outside of visiting hours. Through the use of the home-visit nursing care service, ①home care could be continued without hospitalization, ②frequency of hospitalizations is reduced, ③hospitalization at an early stage led to early discharge. Therefore, it was shown that home-visit nursing care contributes to healthcare cost reduction.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
訪問看護ステーションの規模は医療施設に比較すると小さく、訪問看護ステーションでもっている事例の数は多くない。そのため、個々のステーションにおいて、訪問看護の効果の報告は一事例の事例研究がほとんどである。訪問看護ステーションの利用者が入院の回数が減少、入院しても短期間で退院することは、訪問看護ステーションの管理者や訪問看護師は経験数の感じていることであるが、訪問看護サービス利用の効果を見える化したことは、在宅ケアの充実、発展に寄与すると考える。
