Abstract:
The aim of this research was to explore the educational effects of home-care training on resident trainees which have not previously been deliberately examined. We performed a qualitative study. Focus-group interviews were conducted to explore the views of residents who underwent medical training in 3 different settings: inpatient, outpatient, and home-care. Analysis of the interview data revealed 8 categories of resident experiences and their views on the effects of home-care training: 1)recognition of the importance of the concerns of the patient and the family in medical communication; 2)development of patient-centered and family-centered attitudes; 3)acquisition of the knowledge and skills of management, other than medical management, in home-care; 4)appropriate cooperation with other health professionals; 5)recognition of options for care settings; 6)knowledge of the community; 7)recognition of healthcare resources in the community; and 8)acquision of effective use of medical knowledge and skills. The findings of this study suggest that home-care training is effective for helping residents to develop patient-centered communication skills and attitudes and to develop management skills for a multidisciplinary team in the community to complement medical training in inpatient and outpatient settings.
