Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the home care needs of the disabled elderly in China, to provide a reference for developing home care services oriented to the needs of the elderly.Methods:Qualitative studies on the need for home care services for the disabled elderly in China were electronically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search time limit was from the tstablishment of the database to March 9, 2024. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research (2016) of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The results of the qualitative study were analyzed using the convergent integration method.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, and 43 outcomes were distilled, summarized to form eight new categories, and synthesized to produce two outcomes, including medical care and rehabilitation needs (professional nursing needs, rehabilitation and exercise needs, health guidance needs, and psychological guidance needs), and supportive needs (policy support needs, home environment needs, service resource needs, and life care needs) .Conclusions:Disabled elderly have multifaceted needs for home care. It is recommended that a multidisciplinary team be formed and a multi-pronged integrated care model be adopted to meet the needs of the disabled elderly living at home.
