| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the assessment for non-canser elderly people's terminal care that was defficult for home visiting nurses to predict thier prognosis. A questionnaire survey of visiting nurses was conducted and 138 responses was obtained from 61 home care station facilities. We found that diagnostic predictions made by the visiting nurses had 50% accuracy in specifying the actual progress. The visiting nurses checked the basis of pain, general malaise, constipation and diarrhea, and edema for group A diseases, general malaise for group C. In addition, in all disease groups, worsening of dyspnea was observed when diseases are developing into the aggravation stage. We have realized that it is necessary to conduct a prospective study to clarify the symptoms observed by visiting nurses and the standards of judgment they use to make judgments.
