Abstract

A survey was conducted to evaluate the care being received by non-institutionalized chronically ill persons in the Black, Coloured and White communities residing in the Municipality of Cape Town. Of the chronically ill persons identified, 170 (71%) of the Blacks, 188 (62%) of the Coloureds and 43 (86%) of the Whites were receiving care at the time of the survey, and the type, location and duration of this care are outlined. Only 26% of the chronically ill persons were considered to be receiving optimal care, and new recommendations for care were made for 201 (84%) of the Blacks, 203 (67%) of the Coloureds and 36 (72%) of the Whites. Of the patients for whom new recommendations were made, 37% were not currently receiving any care. The financial and occupational repercussions of chronic illness are considered, and methods of improving the comprehensive care of chronically ill persons are discussed.

摘要

开展了一项调查，以评估居住在开普敦市的黑人、有色人种和白人社区中未入住机构的慢性病患者所接受的护理情况。在已确定的慢性病患者中，调查时170名黑人（71%）、188名有色人种（62%）和43名白人（86%）正在接受护理，文中概述了这种护理的类型、地点和持续时间。只有26%的慢性病患者被认为接受了最佳护理，针对201名黑人（84%）、203名有色人种（67%）和36名白人（72%）提出了新的护理建议。在提出新建议的患者中，37%目前未接受任何护理。文中考虑了慢性病的经济和职业影响，并讨论了改善慢性病患者综合护理的方法。
