Abstract

Background: Home healthcare guidelines emphasize the engagement of family caregivers of heart failure (HF) patients in patient care at home. Thus, this study was conducted with the aim to explore the deep experiences of home care team members regarding the needs of family caregivers of HF patients in home healthcare services in Iran.

Methods: The present qualitative study was performed with a conventional content analysis approach. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 23 participants who were recruited through purposive sampling. The Data were analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman method for conventional content analysis in MAXQDA Software.

Results: The participants included 14 women and 9 men with the mean age of 46.21 ± 11.44 years. After analyzing the interviews, 3 main categories and 15 subcategories were extracted. The main categories were "family caregiver's unmet needs" (with 5 subcategories), "Empowering Informal Caregivers" (with 3 subcategories), and "access to a standard home healthcare system" (with 7 subcategories).

Conclusion: Deep understanding of the needs of family caregivers of HF patients in home health care services increases the quality of services, the quality of life (QOL) of the family, and prevents patients' hospital readmissions. Moreover, it will contribute to our next project of the home healthcare guideline for HF patients in the health care system of Iran. Identifying the training needs of caregivers within the home health care services has an important role in the designing of education strategies in policy making programs at the level of the Ministry of Health or planning at lower levels of the health network.

伊朗家庭保健服务中家庭护理团队成员对心衰患者家庭护理人员需求的经验:一项定性研究。
背景:家庭保健指南强调心衰(HF)患者的家庭照顾者参与家庭护理。因此,本研究旨在探讨伊朗家庭护理团队成员对家庭护理人员对心衰患者家庭护理人员需求的深刻体验。方法:本定性研究采用常规的含量分析方法。数据是通过深入的半结构化访谈收集的,23名参与者是通过有目的抽样招募的。在MAXQDA软件中使用Graneheim和Lundman常规内容分析方法对数据进行分析。结果:女性14例,男性9例,平均年龄46.21±11.44岁。通过对访谈的分析,提炼出3个主要类别和15个小类别。主要类别为“家庭照顾者未满足的需求”(包含5个子类别)、“赋予非正式照顾者权力”(包含3个子类别)和“获得标准家庭医疗保健系统”(包含7个子类别)。结论:深入了解心衰患者家庭护理人员在家庭保健服务中的需求,可提高服务质量和家庭生活质量,防止患者再入院。此外,它将有助于我们在伊朗卫生保健系统中为心衰患者制定家庭保健指南的下一个项目。确定家庭保健服务中护理人员的培训需求,对于卫生部一级政策制定方案的教育战略设计或卫生网络较低一级的规划具有重要作用。
