Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to quantitatively clarify the details and importance of criteria for visiting nurses to make judgments on the appropriateness of bathing individuals treated with long-term care. Based on findings obtained through semi-structured interviews up until FY2013, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 2014, and collected data were examined using the conjoint analysis method. The results revealed that: to determine the appropriateness of bathing individuals receiving long-term care, visiting nurses regarded <their desire to bathe> as the most important criterion; and important criteria for visiting nurses varied, depending on their experience of home-visit nursing.
