The aim of this study was to explore homecare professionals' perceptions of safety related to the use of telecare by older adults.
An exploratory qualitative design was employed.
Two focus group interviews with ten female homecare professionals (nine Registered Nurses and one occupational therapist) were carried out between June-December 2017. The participants were recruited from six community homecare services in two Norwegian municipalities. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
The participants perceived that the use of telecare protects older adults against injury and insecurity by preventing harm and giving them a feeling of safety. However, they also stated that the use of telecare involves challenges that could lead to harm to older adults due to technological limitations and difficulties managing and understanding the technology. Although telecare can enhance safety, it is necessary to develop reliable technology and adapt it to the user's abilities, skills and resources.
本研究旨在探讨家庭护理专业人员对老年人使用远程护理安全性的看法。
采用探索性定性设计。
2017年6月至12月间，对10名女性家庭护理专业人员（9名注册护士和1名职业治疗师）进行了两次焦点小组访谈。参与者来自挪威两个城市的六个社区家庭护理服务机构。采用定性内容分析法对数据进行分析。
参与者认为，远程护理的使用通过预防伤害并给予老年人安全感，保护他们免受伤害和不安全因素的影响。然而，他们也指出，远程护理的使用存在一些挑战，由于技术限制以及管理和理解技术的困难，可能会对老年人造成伤害。尽管远程护理可以提高安全性，但有必要开发可靠的技术，并使其适应用户的能力、技能和资源。
