Abstract

The type of non-professional or professional support received affects the quality of life of the patient and their caregivers. Social support is the type of interaction that is taken by the patient and his caregivers in a problematic, difficult, stressful, or critical situation.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of social support on the functioning of patients under nursing home care.

Material and methods: The study included 148 chronically ill patients under home nursing care. The study used the diagnostic survey method; the research technique was a questionnaire containing basic data about the respondent and the Social Support Scale (SWS) by Krystyna Kmiecik-Baran.

Results: The need to continue the causal treatment at home means that the main source of support for care beneficiaries are nurses who provide medical services at the patient's home, supported by doctors and family members of the patient. According to patients' subjective assessment of the support they received from nurses, patients rated the informational support provided by nurses highest at 14.3 points and emotional support at 13.3 points (SD 1.776). on a scale where the maximum score was 16 points. In the opinion of the surveyed patients, the value-added support provided was the lowest-rated category by patients, 9.74 points (SD 2.505). Instrumental support was also rated very poorly by the respondents (10.17 points (SD 2.069). In each category, there was no statistically significant difference at the p < 0.05 level in the respondents' evaluation, which means that the expressed opinion on each type of support from the highest to the lowest evaluation: informational, emotional, instrumental, and evaluative-overlapped in the patient group and the family group.

Conclusions: Patients under home care highly appreciated the support provided to them by the nursing staff. Social support for a chronically ill person who requires constant care and care by the nursing staff is a form of direct impact that relieves stress and tension, minimizes the effects of the disease, directly affects the course of treatment and care, and prevents stigmatization.

社会支持对居家护理患者功能的影响。
所接受的非专业或专业支持的类型会影响患者及其护理人员的生活质量。社会支持是指在有问题、困难、压力或危急的情况下,病人和他的照顾者之间的一种互动。目的:本研究的目的是评估社会支持对疗养院护理病人功能的影响。材料与方法:采用家庭护理方式对148例慢性疾病患者进行研究。本研究采用诊断调查法;研究方法为问卷调查,包含被调查者的基本数据和Krystyna Kmiecik-Baran的社会支持量表(SWS)。结果:需要继续在家中进行因果治疗意味着护理受益人的主要支持来源是在医生和患者家属的支持下在患者家中提供医疗服务的护士。根据患者对护士支持的主观评价,患者对护士提供的信息支持评价最高,为14.3分,情感支持评价最高,为13.3分(SD为1.776)。满分为16分。受访患者认为,提供的增值支持是患者评价最低的类别,为9.74分(SD 2.505)。受访者对工具支持的评价也很差(10.17分(标准差2.069))。在各类别中,被调查者对支持的评价在p < 0.05水平上差异无统计学意义,这意味着在患者组和家庭组中,对每种支持的评价从最高到最低:信息性、情绪性、工具性和评价性的表达意见重叠。结论:居家护理患者对护理人员的支持给予高度评价。对需要护理人员不断照顾和照顾的慢性病患者提供社会支持是一种直接影响,可以缓解压力和紧张,最大限度地减少疾病的影响,直接影响治疗和护理过程,并防止污名化。
