Background. Research about formal care of older home-dwelling people in the Nordic countries is comprehensive, while research on informal care has been less inclusive. Aim. To describe self-reported activities of daily living and perceived health, and to relate them to amount and types of formal and informal care received by a group of care-dependent, home-dwelling older individuals in Norway. Design and methods. A sample consisting of 242 persons aged 75+ years receiving home nursing services. Data were collected by means of structured interviews with questions about activities of daily living (ADL), amount and types of formal and informal care and demographic variables. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U-test and multiple stepwise regression were used in the analyses. Results. ADL dependency was the only predictor for explaining quantity of home nursing received. Those who received a generous amount of formal care also received a lot of care and support from informal networks. The type of care from the two sources differed. The home nurses performed PADL tasks. While the informal caregivers offered help with IADL tasks. Conclusion. This study of receiving help in this group of older people in Norway shows that formal and informal care resources complement one another.
背景。北欧国家关于老年人居家照护的正式护理研究较为全面,而对非正式护理的研究则不够全面。目的。描述一组依赖护理的挪威居家老年人的日常生活活动自理能力和自我感知健康状况,并将其与他们所接受的正式和非正式护理的数量和类型联系起来。设计和方法。一个由 242 名 75 岁以上接受家庭护理服务的人组成的样本。通过结构化访谈收集数据,问题涉及日常生活活动(ADL)、正式和非正式护理的数量和类型以及人口统计学变量。在分析中使用了描述性统计、卡方检验、Mann-Whitney U 检验和多元逐步回归。结果。ADL 依赖是解释接受家庭护理数量的唯一预测因素。那些接受大量正式护理的人也从非正式网络中获得了大量的照顾和支持。这两种来源的护理类型不同。家庭护士执行 PADL 任务,而非正式照顾者则提供 IADL 任务的帮助。结论。这项对挪威这组老年人接受帮助的研究表明,正式和非正式的护理资源是相互补充的。
