Abstract
Background: The number of patients under home mechanical ventilation is increasing worldwide. The unique nature of these patients and their complex health needs exposes home caregivers to various needs and challenges regarding different dimensions of care.
Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the universal model of family-centered care on the clinical outcomes of the patient and the family.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted between 2020 and 2021. A total of 60 patients under invasive mechanical ventilation was selected and divided into control (routine training that is usually given by hospital staff to families to care for patients) and intervention (comprehensive pre-discharge training program to post-discharge follow-up using the universal model of family-centered care) groups using random block design and universal model of family-centered care. Home caregivers' functional skills and burden, as well as patients' readmission and mortality rates, were compared in the two groups.
Results: Implementing the intervention 1 and 3 months later effectively increased home caregivers' functional skills. Moreover, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of the psychological burden of caregiving (P < .001); the implementation of the intervention could highly reduce the psychological burden of caregiving in the intervention group (EF = 0.94). The hospital readmission and mortality rate in the intervention group was significantly lower than in the control group (P = .02 and P = .03, respectively).
Conclusions: Given the significant impact of the universal model of family-centered care on the clinical outcomes of the patient and the family, pre-discharge training and its post-discharge follow-up and continuity of education with an active presence of nurses, as one of the main pillars of the treatment, seems essential.
