Abstract:
Since 1994, our clinic has had monthly study meetings for those who looked after bedridden patients in their homes. As of June 1996, we have gotten together 39 times and a total of 168 persons have participated (mean 4.8). We have discussed the welfare system (3 times) and diseases such as bed sore and lumbago (16 times), visited participants' homes and demonstrated medical equipment (4 times each) and talked about general affairs (12 times). In home health care, a role of those who look after bedridden patients in their homes is very important. Social and medical systems should support them. We think ther meetings could continue to support them morally and psyehologically.
