Description

<p>The purpose of the study was to identify and compare the ability of home helpere and visiting nurses in dealing with assessment information and recognizing the professional perspective for Elderly.</p><p>For that purpose, selfaddressed questionnaires were mailed to 400 randomly selected samples from a Home helper service station and a Visiting Nurse Station. Valid return rate was 56%.</p><p>The results of analysis of covariance showed that visiting nurse have higher ability of assessing information on need for “medical care”, for “family care load and social resources”, and for “terminal care”, but on the other hand, that home helpers have higher capability of assessing information on need for “individuals’ day-to-day activities and social environment” and for “eating habit and toilet activities”.</p><p>These results indicate the importance of the team approach between visiting nurses and home helpers. Vrisiting nurses should take more active advantage of home helper-originated information, such as “individual’ day-to-day activities and social environment”, thereby to provide better medical and terminal care. The results also suggest that home helpers have to be given information about points of safe care for the elderly with medical needs.</p><p>It is important for visiting nurses and helpers to promote team performance with the care managers under the long-term care insurance system.</p>
