| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data to create an assessment index for introducing visiting nursing with the aim of preventing the progression of physical illness in the elderly with dementia. The assessment index for introducing visiting nursing should not be a simple checklist but should comprehensively assess living situations, living environment, physical conditions, family situations, and so on, of the elderly with dementia through observation during actual home visits and should be able to be used when considering the use of services other than visiting nursing. Our results also clarified that it is important that visiting nurses themselves first visit patients when utilizing the assessment index.
