Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of planned visiting nursing services for homebound disabled persons in the community who have had a cerebrovascular accident METHODS: One group pre-test and post-test research deign was applied to 61 disabled persons who were undergoing rehabilitation with visiting nursing services to evaluate the effects on the health status (SF-36) and activity daily living (ADL/IADL) from March to August, 2001. RESULTS: The health status score by SF-36 of homebound disabled people was significantly improved; the average score was 28.56+/-21.24 before service, 34.29+/-22.30 at 3 months after, and 40.84+/-=27.41 at 6 months after. The activity daily living score by OASIS II was also significantly increased (z= -6.09, p=.000; z= -6.04, p= .000) at 3 months and 6 months after home visiting nursing services. CONCLUSION: The strategy plan for developing a visiting nursing service in health centers should be prepared to develop community based rehabilitation (CBR) programs as well as to improve the level of health status and ADL/IADL for homebound disabled people in the community.
