背景:家庭照顾者在提供身体,情感,对老年人的社会支持,允许他们保持独立并留在他们喜欢的生活环境中。然而,家庭护理人员面临许多挑战,需要特定的知识和技能来提供有效的护理。因此,了解老年人家庭护理中有效家庭护理所需的知识和技能,对于支持护理人员和老年人接受者至关重要。
方法:这项研究是在梅克尔市进行的,埃塞俄比亚,利用现象学研究设计和目的抽样技术。共进行了22次深入访谈。有为家中老年人提供护理经验的个人成为目标。数据是通过使用开放式指南收集的,逐字转录,输入到ATLAS。ti8软件,和翻译。然后从转录的数据中提取代码和主题,并进行了专题分析。为了尽量减少个人偏见,收集的数据由数据收集助理和PI独立编码.分析是由未参与数据收集过程的作者进行的。采访是在一个安静的地方进行的。
结果:作为本研究的一部分,共进行了22次深度访谈。结果表明,尽管参与者了解老年人常见的健康问题,他们不知道如何在家中管理这些疾病,也不知道为老年人提供专门的医疗保健资源。此外,他们对合适的锻炼程序的了解有限,防止跌倒的策略,和老年人的家庭医疗保健实践。另一方面,他们对专门针对老年人的虐待行为表现出扎实的理解和意识。
结论:结果强调了在处理老年人健康问题方面加强家庭护理人员教育和培训的重要性,提高对迎合老年人的专业医疗服务的认识,提高对日常生活活动(ADL)和跌倒预防的理解,并在与老年人护理相关的医疗保健任务中提供包容性培训。
结论:参与者应接受全面的教育和培训计划,以提高他们管理这些疾病的知识和技能。还应努力提高对老年医院或老年人专业护士可用性的认识。参与者需要接受有关适合老年人的锻炼程序和跌倒预防策略的教育。医疗技能培训也是必要的参与者,专注于伤口敷料等活动,生命体征监测,并制定具体的换岗时间表。
BACKGROUND: Family caregivers play a crucial role in providing physical, emotional, and social support to the elderly, allowing them to maintain their independence and stay in their preferred living environment. However, family caregivers face numerous challenges and require specific knowledge and
skills to provide effective care. Therefore, understanding the knowledge and
skills required for effective family caregiving in elderly home care is vital to support both the caregivers and the elderly recipients.
METHODS: The research was carried out in Mekelle City, Ethiopia, utilizing the phenomenology
study design and purposive sampling technique. A total of twenty-two in-depth interviews were conducted. Individuals with experience in providing care for elderly people in their homes were targeted. Data was gathered through the use of an open-ended guide, transcribed word-for-word, inputted into ATLAS.ti8 software, and translated. Codes and themes were then extracted from the transcribed data, and a thematic analysis was performed. To minimize personal biases, the collected data were coded independently by the data collection assistants and the PI. The analysis was carried out by authors who were not involved in the data collection process. The interviews were conducted in a quiet place.
RESULTS: A total of 22 in-depth interviews were conducted as part of this research. The results indicated that although the participants had knowledge about common health problems experienced by older people, they were uninformed about how to manage these conditions at home and were unaware of specialized healthcare resources for the elderly. Furthermore, they had limited knowledge about suitable exercise routines, strategies to prevent falls, and home healthcare practices for older individuals. On the other hand, they exhibited a solid comprehension and awareness of abusive behaviors specifically directed at older adults.
CONCLUSIONS: The results emphasized the importance of enhancing education and training for family caregivers in handling elderly health issues, raising awareness about specialized healthcare services catered to the elderly, improving understanding of activities of daily living (ADLs) and fall prevention, and offering inclusive training in healthcare tasks related to elder care.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants should receive comprehensive education and training programs to enhance their knowledge and
skills in managing these conditions. Efforts should also be made to raise awareness about the availability of geriatric hospitals or specialized nurses for the elderly. Participants need to be educated about suitable exercise routines for the elderly and fall prevention strategies. Healthcare
skills training is also necessary for participants, focusing on activities such as wound dressing, vital sign monitoring, and establishing a specific schedule for changing positions.
