This study explored whether the instructions and recommendations offered by pharmacists during their home visits play a key role in the factors that influence a patient’s prognosis. A home health care database was analyzed in this study. The subjects received home visits from pharmacists. There were 262 subjects following the exclusion of closed cases that were not due to improved outcomes or death. To validate the research framework, multiple regression analysis was employed for model validation. The level of consciousness and Barthel Index score mediated the effects of multimorbidities, and these mediating effects significantly affected patient outcomes (improvement or death). The medication-related knowledge and instructions for correct medication use provided by pharmacists did not exhibit significant moderating effects on the influence of a patient’s level of consciousness and Barthel Index score on their improved outcomes. However, the pharmacists’ provision of instructions and recommendations for patient self-care had significant moderating effects on the path by which patients with multimorbidities experienced improved outcomes through higher total Barthel Index scores. In comparison with physician home visits, which merely cover the treatments for diseases, pharmacists also play a vital role in home health care. Pharmacists provide patients with medication-related knowledge and instructions for correct medication use. This study addressed aspects that have not been considered in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"272 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211016416","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42324084","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}

The study was carried out in a public hospital in Istanbul between January and June 2018. The sample of the study consisted of 65 women. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using Patient Description Form, Symptom Check List and Self-Care Agency Scale during outpatient check-ups in the first and third weeks following discharge. The mean age of the women was 52.68 ± 13.24. Fatigue, weakness, pain and insomnia were mostly experienced symptoms in the first and third weeks after discharge while fever, discharge from the wound area and nausea-vomiting symptoms were the least experienced symptoms in these weeks. It was determined that women had moderate self-care agency in the first and third weeks of discharge. Women who were married and whose income was equal to their expenses had higher self-care agency, and those living alone had lower self-care agency than those living with their spouses and children (p < 0.05). The self-care agency scores of those who did not have a chronic disease were higher than those with chronic diseases (p < 0.05). It is found that women with breast-conserving surgery experience symptoms related to the operation in the first and third weeks of discharge. Women’s self care agency was moderate during the follow up period, meaning that these patients should be supported by nurses with regard to self care agency and symptoms experienced at home.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"264 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211011710","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46542154","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}

The relationships between demographic characteristics, perceived OHL levels, personal oral health behaviors, and oral health care to clients were also assessed. This cross-sectional survey research examined 69 caregivers of the homebound population employed by home health agencies. The OHL was determined by the validated Health Literacy in Dentistry Scale (HeLD-14). Independent t-tests, chi-square tests set at p < .05 significance level, and logistic regressions were used for analysis. The mean age of participants was 43. The HeLD-14 scores indicated a high perceived OHL among this group. Caregivers came from diverse groups, and the majority spoke a second language at home. About 93% performed oral self-care the recommended amount of time or more, while only 57% did it for their clients. Those who cleaned clients’ mouth twice a day had a higher OHL score (M = 23 compared to M = 19). About 43% did not check for sores in the client’s mouth, and those who checked had a higher OHL score (M = 25 compared to M = 19). Controlling for OHL, age was a good predictor of oral care frequency to clients. These findings provide current evidence and add to the body of knowledge on OHL among homebound individuals. The results provide insights for designing a preventive approach in oral health care to the homebound population.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"280 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211008435","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49076438","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}

These perspectives are critical for informing an acceptable and scalable integrated care model. We conducted semi-structured interviews with HHC patients, caregivers, and HHC personnel to assess the unmet behavioral health needs of HHC patients and their caregivers. Participants were recruited from a Medicare-certified HHC agency that is part of a large health system on the east coast. We completed a total of 31 interviews between January and May 2020. Findings suggest that HHC patients have significant unmet behavioral health and social needs and their caregivers are emotionally and physically drained. Reasons that patients may not be receiving adequate behavioral health services include denial, cost, culture, lack of awareness of available resources, lack of transportation, and homebound status. While most patients discussed the emotional toll of their illness, few were connected to services. HHC personnel offered suggestions on how to meet the behavioral health needs of patients, with the primary focus on providing in-home options. Gaps in meeting the needs of the HHC population necessitate integrated care models that can effectively address the behavioral health and social needs of HHC patients and their families. Future research should develop and test patient and caregiver-directed integrated care models in the HHC setting.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"258 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211002849","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45879772","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}

Preventing home injuries is an essential part of the child health care program. Using education-based models interventions can promote mothers’ practices regarding home injuries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of education based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries. A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 116 mothers referred to comprehensive health centers (58 mothers in each experimental and control group), who were selected using the cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-developed TPB questionnaire, which was validated by I-CVI (≥0.78), and CVR (≥0.79). Its reliability also confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients (.52-.93). Afterward, educational intervention was implemented in the experimental group based on TPB in four 45 to 60 minute sessions. After 2 months, the data were recollected from the two groups and analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Comparing the scores of TPB constructs (i.e., perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, and subjective norms), and mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries revealed no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups pre-intervention. However, after the intervention, significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of awareness, the TPB constructs (except for subjective norms), and preventive practices of the mothers (p < .001). Mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries were improved after applying TPB; hence, it is suggested a larger study be completed to confirm the results of this theory-based education.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"250 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211000048","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42124886","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}

Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s techniques. Two main themes providing a descriptive summary of the major elements of transitional care identified: “threat to patient safety” and “Care breakdown”. Findings showed an exclusive image of unsafe transitional care which was done unplanned without appropriate delegating care to family and threat patient safety. There is still a gap in the transition from hospital to home. Nursing managers can address this issue by creating a culture of teamwork, training competent nurses by continuum education, and more supervision of nursing care. Policymakers can ensure continuity of care by developing policies and programs about transitional care.","PeriodicalId":45762,"journal":{"name":"Home Health Care Management and Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"239 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10848223211002166","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41485347","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}

Various interventions were explored but the “Ask Me Three®” tool created by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the National Patient Safety Foundation, was a best practice for improving patient engagement through increased health literacy. This educational intervention is a high-touch, low-cost, process designed to engage patients, and their informal caregivers in their own care through increased communication by asking three important questions: (1) What is my main problem?, (2) What do I need to do?, and (3) Why is it important for me to do this? These questions make the patient engage with their provider to identify their main health problem; what actions need to be taken to improve their health, and why those actions are important. Providers can potentially influence patient’s behavior through engagement and increased health literacy. The “Ask Me Three®” intervention is an example of how increased patient engagement and health literacy can lead to better health outcomes.

Results revealed that the summary score for clout (i.e., confidence and leadership reflected in the writing) was high. Some of the most commonly used word categories were positive emotions, present focused, and affiliation. The word category money was included, but to a lesser degree. However, Burden and related words were highly prevalent in the writing sample. In summary, LHCSA website content contains both facilitators and barriers to the acceptance of home care services.
