| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to conduct a survey in the elderly and care providers, and to identify a way of communication, guidance and care techniques in home care needs and utilization of FOMA TV telephone.
Care was effective in 27 of 37 items in the evaluation of Telecare. The clients require more medical care, the greater "improvement" or "solution" rate of care need achieved. Many clients reported that Telecare equipment made them "feeling comfortable" and "feeling being close to visiting nurses". Nurses evaluated Telecare more useful than the clients. The top useful items reported by the clients were "early detection," "communication" and "observation" while those by the nurses were "consultation," "observation" and "early detection". Both the nurses and the clients rated higher in "early detection" and "observation" for those heavily depending on medical care. The use of FOMA demonstrated greater effectiveness and satisfaction in the nurses rather than the family caregivers.
The survey assuming that FOMA is used, showed greater expectation in the clients than the nurses, but a reverse tendency was seen after the actual use. The family caregivers reported that the FOMA screen was too small to see. It suggests that a larger screen helps the elderly to improve the effectiveness and satisfaction.
