Home care nurses often use the Resident Assessment Instrument-Home Care (interRAI-HC) to assess health needs. However, this tool does not assess complexity. This study proposes to derive a complexity index (CI) from the interRAI-HC using the operational definition of the dedicated COMID checklist (COmplexité Multidimensionnelle des prises en soins Infirmières à Domicile).
Data were collected at the baseline assessment of the fraXity study (N = 231, aged ≥ 65), which relied on an observational longitudinal design.
Measures were the interRAI-HC, from which the CI binary variables were computed and the COMID, used as a reference.
Twenty-six CI variables were computed from the interRAI-HC, and all but three correlations were significant. The correlation between the CI score and the COMID score was ρ = 0.730 (p < .001).
The study demonstrates that complexity can be assessed directly from the interRAI-HC by deriving a CI.
家庭护理护士经常使用居家护理居民评估工具(interRAI-HC)来评估健康需求。然而,该工具并未评估复杂性。本研究建议使用专门的COMID清单(家庭护理中多维护理复杂性)的操作定义,从interRAI-HC中得出一个复杂性指数(CI)。
在衰弱研究的基线评估时收集数据(N = 231,年龄≥65岁),该研究采用观察性纵向设计。
测量指标为interRAI-HC,从中计算出CI二元变量,并将COMID用作参考。
从interRAI-HC中计算出26个CI变量,除3个外所有相关性均显著。CI分数与COMID分数之间的相关性为ρ = 0.730(p <.001)。
该研究表明,通过得出CI,可以直接从interRAI-HC中评估复杂性。
