Abstract

Objectives: To define the demographic characteristics, health and

dependence status of patients receiving home care services (HCSs)

and the services needed and received by the patients.

Patients and Methods: It is a descriptive study including

120 patients that had HCSs from a training and research hospital

home care unit, where the files of the patients were evaluated

retrospectively between January and August 2010.

Results: Most of the patients in need of HCSs were female

(61.8%), their mean age was 72.6±16.4 (range: 16-105) and

75.5% were 65 years and above, while 79.2% were bedridden. The

personal hygiene and nutritional status were deemed inappropriate

in 21.7% and 31.7%, respectively. The most common diseases

were hypertension (19.3%), cerebrovascular accidents (13.5%),

and Alzheimer’s disease (9.5%). Family members mentioned their

training needs’ topics as nutrition (30.3%), sanitation-hygiene

(21.2%), and general care (18.2%).

Conclusion: The study has shown different aspects of HCSs

including medical, nursing, and social welfare problems for all

parties, especially family physicians. People applied for HCSs

were mostly women, elders with impaired functional status and

bedridden. Their caregivers were mostly family members who

needed social support not only in economic means but also in

training so that they can provide better care for their relatives.

Abstract

Amaç: Evde sağlık hizmeti (ESH) alan hastaların, demografik

özelliklerini, sağlık ve bağımlılık durumları ile aldıkları ve ihtiyaç

duydukları hizmetleri tanımlamaktır.

Hastalar ve Yöntem: İzmir’de bir eğitim araştırma hastanesi

evde bakım biriminden Ocak-Ağustos 2010 arasında ESH alan 120

hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: ESH ihtiyacı olanların çoğu kadın (%61,8),

ortalama yaşları 72,6±16,4 (aralık: 16-105) yıl olup %75,5’i 65

yaş ve üzerindeyken %79,2’si yatağa bağımlıdır. Sırasıyla %21,7

ve %31,7’sinin kişisel hijyen ve beslenme durumları yetersiz

olarak değerlendirilmiştir. En sık görülen hastalıklar hipertansiyon

(%19,3), serebrovasküler hastalıklar (%13,5) ve Alzheimer

hastalığı (%9,5)’dır. Aile bireyleri, beslenme (%30,3), sanitasyonhijyen

(%21,2) ve genel bakım (%18,2) konularında eğitim almak

ihtiyacı duyduklarını belirtmişlerdir.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma, tüm taraflar için, özellikle aile hekimleri

için, tıbbi ve hemşirelik alanları ile sosyal yardım kapsamındaki

alanlarda ESH’nin farklı yönlerini göstermektedir. ESH için

başvuranların çoğu kadın, yaşlı, fonksiyonel durumu bozuk ve

yatağa bağımlıdırlar. Bakım verenler, sadece ekonomik anlamda

değil, hastalarına daha iyi hizmet verebilmek için eğitim anlamında

da hizmet almak ihtiyacındadırlar.
