Abstract

Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) facilities are turning to innovative tools such as telerehabilitation to support home-based treatment due to challenges with population ageing, staff shortages, and mounting budgetary pressures. This study identified the potential added value as well as the requirements of using telerehabilitation in home-based GR, according to stakeholders and potential end-users. This exploratory qualitative study design conducted semi-structured interviews among nineteen care professionals, three patients and one informal caregiver. The qualitative data from these interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed with inductive content analysis. Interviewees indicated multiple added values and requirements for telerehabilitation in home-based GR. Overall, there was great emphasis on blended care implementation, in which telerehabilitation is used in conjunction with in-person care. It is recommended to use the present findings towards developing and implementing a telerehabilitation intervention in home-based GR and assess its feasibility and usability.

居家老年康复中远程康复的附加价值与需求：一项探索性质的研究。

由于人口老龄化、工作人员短缺和预算压力不断增加等挑战，老年康复机构正在转向采用远程康复等创新工具，以支持家庭治疗。根据利益相关者和潜在的最终用户，本研究确定了在家庭GR中使用远程康复的潜在附加价值和要求。本探索性质的研究设计对19名护理专业人员、3名患者和1名非正式护理人员进行了半结构化访谈。从这些访谈的定性数据逐字记录和分析归纳内容分析。受访者指出，在以家庭为基础的GR中，远程康复有多种附加价值和要求。总体而言，非常强调混合护理的实施，其中远程康复与面对面护理相结合。建议将本研究结果用于发展和实施居家GR远程康复干预，并评估其可行性和可用性。
