Abstract:
Objectives:This study aimed to establish a linkage model involving regional responsible medical institutions after analyzing the existing conditions and deriving problems through qualitative analysis within the community care system.
Methods:A total of 14 participants of this study were selected through the snowball sampling method, including 7 community care service providers and 7 service users. As for the research data, primary data were collected through interviews, and as a result of analyzing according to Aday&Anderson’ model, a total of 5 catergories, 8 topics, and 22 sub theme were derived.
Results:The problem derived from the interview is that division services are provided for each institution due to the absence of a key central institution of community care system, and users’ commercial institutions is unclear. The second is the inconsistency between the needs and supply for community care, resulting in a possibility of delay in returning to the community after discharge. Based on these problems, it is necessary to unify it as an community care window of the Dong-community center. In addition, there is a need for public health centers to play an active role, and to establish a public-private joint system with the Health and Living Support Center to establish a model that can play a certain role.
Conclusions:Therefore, based on the results of this study, it can be used as basic data when constructing community care model and applying it as an expanded model in the future.
