Abstract

This study examined the frequency with which cancer patients who needed home nursing after hospital discharge did not receive required services. In addition, the types of healthcare problems these patients experienced were explored. This study represents a secondary analysis of a data set originally gathered to identify home care needs of patients with cancer. Additional data were gathered from patients' medical records. Results indicate that 41% (n = 15) of the 37 patients who did not receive home care in the present study had complex problems indicative of a need for ongoing nursing services in the home. Forty-one complex problems were identified for the 15 patients for whom home nursing services appeared to be required. Study results indicate that healthcare professionals need to continue efforts to identify and eliminate barriers to the receipt of required home nursing services for patients with cancer and their families.

摘要

本研究调查了出院后需要家庭护理的癌症患者未获得所需服务的频率。此外，还探究了这些患者所经历的医疗保健问题类型。本研究是对最初为确定癌症患者家庭护理需求而收集的数据集进行的二次分析。从患者的病历中收集了额外的数据。结果表明，在本研究中未接受家庭护理的37名患者中，41%（n = 15）存在表明需要持续家庭护理服务的复杂问题。为15名似乎需要家庭护理服务的患者确定了41个复杂问题。研究结果表明，医疗保健专业人员需要继续努力，识别并消除癌症患者及其家庭获得所需家庭护理服务的障碍。
