摘要:

This study categorized the problems of clients with human immunodeficiency syndrome/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), identified on admission to home care, into nursing diagnoses. The study followed a descriptive retrospective record review of adult men and women (n = 244) admitted to a certified home health care agency in New York City. When all problems were clustered into nursing diagnoses, the principle diagnosis in more than 70% of the sample were impaired home maintenance, high risk for ineffective individual coping, altered nutrition:less than body requirements, feeding self-care deficit, and fatigue. The results indicate that the home healthcare needs of persons with HIV/AIDS are multifaceted in nature and extend beyond the signs and symptoms of advancing disease. Nursing diagnoses serve as a basis for capturing all data that contribute to client problems and are the focus of planning nursing care in the home.

摘要:

This article describes the Bay Area Health Care Psychiatric Home Care Model. The symbol of a home is used to define the components of the model. The foundation of the house is a moral/spiritual one. The walls of the home are made up of assessment skills and relationship building. The second floor of the psychiatric home care model, supported by the walls of assessment and relationship, are the issues surrounding medications. The two sides of the roof of the psychiatric home care model are made up of teaching/psychotherapeutic interventions and case management. This model is comprehensive, and directed to caring, stabilizing, and maximizing potential.

摘要:

This study examined the experiences, stresses, support networks, and needs of four families with chronically ill children receiving home care. Chronic uncertainty appeared to be the major psychosocial stressor confronting each family. Parents experienced uncertainty when dealing with the child's illness, treatments, other family members, and healthcare professionals. Home care nurses had a great impact on mimimizing the burden of uncertainty by providing consistent support and understanding, and normalizing the home environment.

摘要:

This article describes an educational program that can be used by health professionals to help family members work through emotional distress associated with nursing home placement. The program of preplacement education presented here does not address the issues and stressors surrounding the decision-making process. The Coping with Nursing Home Placement program is designed to be used after the decision has been made to place a parent in the nursing home. Home health nurses know only too well that once a family makes the decision to seek placement, the wait for a bed can be lengthy.
