We explored the influence of nursing dependency over and above sociodemographic factors and medical conditions on the use of home care nursing resources by patients 65 years of age and older. Use measures were number of visits made by home care nurses, and length of nursing stay. Nurses' reports, direct observation of nursing care provided, patient interviews, and record abstraction were used to obtain data on 236 patients who were admitted to and discharged from a certified public home health agency. Nursing dependency explained a significant amount of variance over and above sociodemographic factors and medical conditions in number of visits made by nurses and length of nursing stay. Measures of nursing dependency should be incorporated into future studies that examine factors related to use of home care nursing resources.
我们探究了护理依赖在社会人口统计学因素和医疗状况之外，对65岁及以上患者使用家庭护理资源的影响。使用指标包括家庭护理护士的访视次数和护理时长。通过护士报告、对所提供护理的直接观察、患者访谈以及记录摘要，获取了一家经认证的公立家庭健康机构收治并出院的236名患者的数据。护理依赖在护士访视次数和护理时长方面，解释了超出社会人口统计学因素和医疗状况的大量方差。护理依赖指标应纳入未来研究，以考察与家庭护理资源使用相关的因素。
