It serves as a medium for communication, shapes perception of the world, and facilitates the formation of meaningful relationships. Thus, when hearing loss occurs, it can have a profoundly life-altering and detrimental impact on an individual. Hearing loss can be attributed to a variety of causes, including genetics, aging, medications, and disease processes. Commonly used medications, such as antibiotics, diuretics, and antineoplastics, can damage the inner ear's delicate internal structures, leading to hearing loss-a condition known as ototoxicity. Early recognition and treatment are crucial in preventing irreversible damage from these medications, and nurses play a vital role in this process. In the home healthcare setting, nurses serve as advocates, fostering trusting relationships with patients to promote patient safety and ensure effective monitoring and education. Numerous studies have discussed ototoxicity and emphasized the need for consistent monitoring, guidelines, and protocols; however, there is a notable lack of research investigating nursing-based interventions and acknowledging the critical role of nurses in implementing these preventive measures in home healthcare. The objective of this manuscript is to discuss an individual's experience with permanent hearing loss due to ototoxicity, highlighting the vital role nurses play in preventing these devastating effects. It emphasizes expanding the nurse's role in home healthcare to improve the timely detection and monitoring of ototoxicity. Proposed strategies include nursing assessment checklists, structured patient education handouts, and symptom diaries. By outlining key nursing interventions and proposed evaluation strategies, this manuscript raises awareness of how medication-induced, irreversible hearing loss can be mitigated through proper patient education and nursing-based monitoring in the home healthcare setting.","PeriodicalId":37842,"journal":{"name":"Home healthcare now","volume":"44 3","pages":"139-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147843977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, other home healthcare professions do not well understand OT interventions or their efficacy. As such, it is essential to review existing literature to define the roles and functions of OT in PC and to better clarify their role in the home healthcare multidisciplinary team. The objective of this review was to define the themes of effective OT within PC and identify how OT may benefit clients with serious illness using an extensive review of the literature. To explore this question, databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE Ultimate, Consumer Health Complete, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect were searched. Thirty studies met the criteria addressing OT in PC and were analyzed for common themes. Three themes regarding the provision of OT services to PC patients were identified: engaging in meaningful activities to increase quality of life (QOL), symptom management and comfort, and supporting caregivers and client environments. OT can play a pivotal role in catering to PC clients' needs by promoting occupational engagement, alleviating symptoms, and modifying environments. This review offers recommendations for OT service provision in palliative care, clarifying the profession's role within multidisciplinary home healthcare teams.","PeriodicalId":37842,"journal":{"name":"Home healthcare now","volume":"44 2","pages":"97-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pediatric home healthcare (HHC) services can offer vital support, yet little is known about parental experiences in Greece. Guided by Meleis' Transition Theory, this qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of seven mothers whose children received HHC from Floga, a pediatric oncology organization in Athens. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in April-May 2024, and data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis, supported by Atlas.ti. One overarching theme emerged: \"Becoming a parent again thanks to HHC,\" capturing how HHC eased the transition from hospital to home by helping mothers reclaim their parental role. Two sub-themes illustrated this: (A) \"Reintegration into life at home: returning to normality, a God-sent gift.\" highlighting restored routines, emotional relief, and trust in HHC nurses; and (B) \"Emotional healing and managing fears through the 'hug' of HHC,\" describing lingering trauma and the sense of safety HHC provided. Mothers also identified unmet needs, including limited psychosocial support and staffing constraints. Overall, HHC enhanced family well-being; by offering emotional stability, practical assistance, and supportive transitions. Strengthening pediatric HHC in Greece will require greater investment in staffing, psychosocial resources, and equitable access.","PeriodicalId":37842,"journal":{"name":"Home healthcare now","volume":"44 2","pages":"85-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an aging population and increasing care complexities, the OHT identified challenges in transitions from hospital to home for older adults. To better understand these experiences, the OHT steering committee partnered with the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) to conduct a quality assessment study focused on person- and family-centred care during discharge planning. Using a holistic descriptive case study approach, the project team followed three older adult participants through observation and in-depth interviews to examine how interactions between clinicians, patients, and families reflected core principles of person- and family-centred care. Findings highlighted the vulnerability associated with hospital-to-home transitions and emphasized the need for enhanced support and resources during this period. Although participants generally reported satisfaction with their care and positive therapeutic relationships, several improvement opportunities were identified. Key recommendations include providing targeted education on effective communication with older adults, adopting standardized communication tools, and prioritizing home safety assessments before discharge to ensure appropriate equipment selection and fit. These strategies can strengthen transition processes and improve experiences for older adults within the OHT.","PeriodicalId":37842,"journal":{"name":"Home healthcare now","volume":"44 2","pages":"75-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
