Abstract

The physical and mental health of home care recipients: A quantitative secondary data analysis Abstract: Background: Although more and more people are being supported by home care services, there is a lack of information regarding the health limitations and needs of this group. Aim: The objective of this study was to examine the health status of people with home care needs in Switzerland. Method: A secondary data analysis based on the HomeCareData database, which contains routine data on people with home care requirements in Switzerland, was conducted. All cases with a fully completed Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI-HC) were included. Data on various items of the RAI-HC and other standardized scale scores with reference to physical or mental health were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: In total, 74,674 data records were evaluated. Physical limitations most frequently manifested in the form of fatigue (40.6%), pain (29.7%) or within the scope of impaired hearing (21.9%). Around a third of individuals sampled had experienced a fall in the last 90 days. With regard to mental health, the most frequent signs were fear of falling (33.5%), loneliness (13.9%), depression (12.8%) and anxiety (4%). Approximately one third showed signs of impaired cognition and polypharmacy was detected in almost 68% of those evaluated. Conclusion: Considering the comparatively high prevalence of mental health problems among people with home care requirements, there is a need to develop appropriate skills of employees in home care services and for adequate care planning.

[家庭护理对象的身心健康：量化二手数据分析]。

家庭护理对象的身心健康：量化二手数据分析摘要：背景：尽管越来越多的人得到了家庭护理服务的支持，但有关这一群体的健康限制和需求的信息却十分匮乏。目的：本研究旨在调查瑞士需要家庭护理者的健康状况。研究方法研究以 HomeCareData 数据库为基础进行了二次数据分析，该数据库包含瑞士有家庭护理需求者的常规数据。所有完整填写了居民评估工具（RAI-HC）的病例都被纳入其中。采用描述性统计方法分析了 RAI-HC 各项数据以及其他有关身体或精神健康的标准化量表评分。结果：共评估了 74,674 份数据记录。身体限制最常见的表现形式是疲劳（40.6%）、疼痛（29.7%）或听力受损（21.9%）。约三分之一的受访者在过去 90 天内曾摔倒过。在心理健康方面，最常见的症状是害怕跌倒（33.5%）、孤独（13.9%）、抑郁（12.8%）和焦虑（4%）。约有三分之一的人有认知能力受损的迹象，近 68% 的被评估者被检测出服用多种药物。结论考虑到有居家护理需求的人中精神健康问题的发生率相对较高，有必要培养居家护理服务从业人员的适当技能，并制定适当的护理计划。

期刊介绍： Pflege ist die erste unabhängige wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für die Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege im deutschen Sprachbereich. Sie trägt zur Entwicklung der Pflegewissenschaft sowie zur Qualität der Pflege in der Praxis bei. Die Zeitschrift versteht sich als umfassendes Forum, in welchem die sich rasch entwickelnden Bereiche der Pflegeforschung, -theorie und -praxis sowie der Ausbildung, des Managements, der Ethik, Geschichte und Politik der Pflege diskutiert werden können. Zusammenfassungen von Forschungsberichten und Mitteilungen aus der internationalen Pflegeszene, Buchbesprechungen und der internationale Kongresskalender ermöglichen der Leserschaft, sich einen Überblick über das aktuelle Geschehen zu verschaffen, sich bezüglich berufsspezifischer Literatur auf dem Laufenden zu halten, um somit die Weiterbildung gezielt zu gestalten. Pflege publiziert Beiträge, die eine hohe Relevanz für Praxis, Forschung, Theorie, Ausbildung, Ethik, Geschichte, Politik und das Management in der Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum haben. Manuskripte ohne Bezug zur Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum werden abgelehnt.
