this study surveyed a representative sample of district nurses (DNs) to ascertain their experience of working alongside a HAH service.
a self-completed postal questionnaire comprised of 14 items was distributed to 128 DNs.
the evaluation found significant levels of satisfaction. All respondents indicated that they would refer a patient to the service again. However, the need for improved communication and increased awareness among DNs about the HAH service were also identified.
the findings support the idea that a HAH service can enable patients with advanced progressive disease to be cared for at home. While the findings of this study cannot be generalized, they add to the growing body of research about HAH services in palliative care.
本研究对地区护士(DNs)的代表性样本进行了调查,以确定他们与居家临终关怀服务(HAH)合作的经验。
向128名地区护士发放了一份由14个项目组成的自填式邮政问卷。
评估发现满意度较高。所有受访者均表示会再次将患者转诊至该服务。然而,也发现了改善沟通的必要性以及提高地区护士对居家临终关怀服务的认识。
研究结果支持这样一种观点,即居家临终关怀服务能够使晚期进行性疾病患者在家中得到照料。虽然本研究的结果不能一概而论,但它们为临终关怀中居家临终关怀服务的不断增长的研究做出了贡献。
