Abstract

<p>Objective To clarify mid-career ward and visiting nurses' thoughts toward home care support after making initial post-discharge home visits through collaboration.</p><p>Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four mid-career ward nurses and four visiting nurses, who had made initial post-discharge home visits through collaboration, and the contents of the interview data were qualitatively and inductively analyzed. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine and the Nursing Research Ethics Committee of the Nursing Department of Takamatsu Red Cross Hospital.</p><p>Results Mid-career ward nurses' thoughts were represented by “reflecting on one's nursing approaches to home care support” and realizing the importance of “ patients' and families' emotions”. Visiting nurses' thoughts, on the other hand, were represented by “promoting patients' and families' sense of security by making home visits with mid-career ward nurses”, “feeling secure about direct collaboration between nurses” and they realized “the need of making use of patients' post-discharge conditions to nursing ”.</p><p>Discussion The reflection performed by mid-career ward nurses on their own nursing approaches to home care support may facilitate specific discharge support, and the conveying of the patients' and families' conditions by visiting nurses to ward nurses may be important for the transition from hospital treatment to home care. Furthermore, direct collaboration between these nurses may also provide an important basis for the continuation of home care, as it makes them feel secure while promoting patients' and families' sense of security.</p><p>Conclusion Direct collaboration between ward and visiting nurses for post-discharge home visits promotes a sense of security among both nurses and patients/ families.</p>
