Amaç: Çocuk hastalar için yürütülen evde bakım hizmetlerinin durumunu ve sonuçlarını değerlendirmek, böylece hastaların tıbbi gereksinimlerini belirleyerek daha kaliteli bir hizmet sunumu için yapılabileceklere ışık tutmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankara Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hematoloji Onkoloji Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Evde Sağlık Hizmetleri Birimine (ESHB) kayıtlı olan ve en az bir yıldır izlemde olan çocuk hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. ESHB’nin kayıt defteri ve bilgisayar kayıtları esas alınarak Kasım 2012-Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında geriye dönük taranarak elde edilen veriler kaydedilerek tanımlayıcı istatistikleri yapıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 63 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 8.87±4.6 olarak tespit edildi. Hastaların % 58.7’si serebral palsi (SP) ve motor mental retardasyon (MMR) tanıları ile takipliydi. Hastaların %34.9 (n=22)’unun trakeostomisi mevcuttu. On üç hasta (%20.6) kronik solunum yetersizliği nedeniyle ev tipi ventilatör kullanıyordu. Ev tipi ventilatör, nasal kanül veya maske ile oksijen, nasogastrik sonda, perkütan enteral gastrostomi (PEG), tekerlekli sandalye v.b. en az bir tıbbi cihaza bağımlı hasta oranı %71.4(n=45)’di. Doktor ziyaret sayısı bir hasta için ortalama 1.89±1.23 (ortanca:2) kez/yıl olarak tesbit edildi. Evde bakım hizmetinde görevli doktor dışı sağlık personeli ziyaret sayısı ise her hasta için ortalama 13.7±14.8 (ortanca:10) kez/yıl olarak hesaplandı. Çalışmamızda hastaların birincil olarak bakımı ile ilgilenen kişi %95.2 oranında anneydi.Sonuç: Evde bakım hizmetleri sayesinde özel sağlık bakım ihtiyaçları olan çocukların eve taburculuğu kolaylaşmakta ve hastane yatışlarının azalması maddi ve sosyal açıdan birçok avantajı beraberinde getirmektedir. Eksikliklerin belirlenmesi gelecekte daha kaliteli hizmet verilmesini sağlayacaktır. Bu hizmetin özellikle çocuk yaş grubunda kapsamlı bir ekip ile sosyal hizmetleri de içine alacak şekilde geliştirilmesi gereklidir.
