摘要:

Independence Health Plan, a health maintenance organization, offers a post-natal care program called MOTHER CARE, which allows the mother and newborn to return home within twenty-four hours of delivery. A nurse from the Visiting Nurse Association of Metropolitan Detroit visits the mother and baby the day following hospital discharge and again three days later. A home care aide from Homemakers Service of Metropolitan Detroit provides up to twenty-four hours (divided among several days) of aide service; responsibilities may include house cleaning, meal preparation, shopping and child care. Two goals are accomplished: mothers and babies return home with adequate support to ensure a safe, comfortable recovery and family integration; hospital costs are reduced. An evaluation of the program is in process.

摘要:

There is virtually no clinical research being done in the home setting by community health nurses. This is due to several factors: (1) there is no established tradition of research in home health agencies that provide nursing services, (2) the extraordinary number of uncontrollable variables that may exist outside the institutional setting, (3] the nursing profession's lack of an established relationship with business enterprises (such as drug companies and medical/surgical supply houses who might be willing to fund and encourage research projects), and (4) a shortage of professional personnel interested in–and trained to do–research.
