To understand the discharge planning needs of family caregivers for the elderly with nasal feeding.
From May to August in 2021, in-depth interviews were conducted with eleven family caregivers for elderly patients with nasal feeding at a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen. The interviews were analyzed using phenomenological research methods and the Knowledge, Awareness, and Practice (KAP) theory to identify and refine key themes.
The discharge planning needs of family caregivers for elderly with nasal feeding can be summarized into three themes: ① Learning needs related to nasal feeding knowledge and discharge planning (Knowledge), ② Factors affecting the family caregivers of elderly with nasal feeding (Awareness), and ③ Practical needs in caregiving (Practice).
Discharge planning for family caregivers of elderly individuals receiving nasal feeding should focus on the accurate assessment of tube placement and patient condition, operational skills, emergency response, and complication management. Medical professionals should evaluate these needs to develop personalized discharge readiness service plans, ensuring the quality of care for elderly patients with nasal feeding at home.
了解鼻饲老年人家庭照顾者的出院计划需求。
2021年5月至8月,对深圳市某三甲医院11名鼻饲老年患者的家庭照顾者进行深入访谈。采用现象学研究方法和知识、态度、行为(KAP)理论对访谈内容进行分析,以识别和提炼关键主题。
鼻饲老年人家庭照顾者的出院计划需求可归纳为三个主题:①与鼻饲知识和出院计划相关的学习需求(知识),②影响鼻饲老年人家庭照顾者的因素(态度),③照顾中的实际需求(行为)。
对接受鼻饲的老年人家庭照顾者的出院计划应侧重于对管道位置和患者状况的准确评估、操作技能、应急反应及并发症管理。医疗专业人员应评估这些需求,制定个性化的出院准备服务计划,确保居家鼻饲老年患者的护理质量。
