Year 2025, Volume: 27 Issue: 49, 628 - 640, 29.08.2025

Abstract

This study aims to determine the most important strategies to be implemented in order to increase investments in home care services. Accordingly, 7 literature-based criteria affecting home care services investments were determined. In order to determine the most important of these criteria, the Spherical Fuzzy TOP-DEMATEL technique, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques, was applied. One of the most important contributions of this study to the literature is the determination of the criteria set that affects the investments to be made in the field of home care services. According to the Spherical Fuzzy TOP-DEMATEL analysis results, the most important criterion affecting the investments to be made in the home care services field was the inclusion of health insurance. After insurance coverage, the most influential criterion in the process is the demographic structure of the population. Therefore, it is important for both service providers and service buyers to increase insurance coverage to include home care services. Thus, those in the position of decision-makers need to make extensive improvements in insurance coverage.

Evde Bakım Hizmetlerine Yapılan Yatırımların Etkinliğinin Artırılmasına Yönelik Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Modeliyle Strateji Geliştirme

Abstract

Bu çalışmada evde bakım hizmetlerine yapılan yatırımların artırılması için uygulanması gereken en önemli stratejilerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Buna göre, evde bakım hizmetleri yatırımlarına etki eden literatür tabanlı 7 kriter belirlenmiştir. Bu kriterler arasından en önemli olanının belirlenebilmesi için çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden olan Küresel Bulanık TOP-DEMATEL tekniği uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın literatüre en önemli katkılarından biri de evde bakım hizmetleri alanına yapılacak olan yatırımları etkileyen kriter setinin belirlenmesidir. Gerçekleştirilen Küresel Bulanık TOP-DEMATEL analiz sonuçlarına göre, evde bakım hizmetleri alanına yapılacak yatırımlara etki eden en önemli kriter sağlık sigortalarının kapsayıcılığı olarak bulunmuştur. Sigorta kapsayıcılığından sonra sürece en fazla etki eden kriter nüfusun demografi yapısıdır. Dolayısıyla sigorta kapsamının evde bakım hizmetlerini de içine alacak şekilde artırılması hizmet sunucuları ve hizmet alıcıları açısından önem arz etmektedir. Karar verici pozisyonunda olanları sigorta kapsayıcılığı hususunda geniş iyileştirmeler yapması önerilir.
