Abstract

<p>This study aimed to develop a brochure for outpatients, to help them understand the nursing support offered for home care by the outpatient department. The brochure made it easy for outpatients to demand support when it was necessary. The study sample comprised 95 nurses from the outpatient department in X hospital, and we asked them about the usability of the brochure.</p><p>More than 80% of the nurses provided positive answers on the three questions pertaining to the usability of the brochure. For example, one of questions was “Do you think the brochure is an effective method to help a person grasp his/her need for home care support?” Regarding points for improvement of the brochure, the nurses clarified that it needed simplification. Other improvement points pertaining to practical utility were nurses' lack of knowledge regarding home care, uncertainty of roles related to home care support among medical service personnel in the hospital.</p>
