Participation in heart failure home-care : Patients’ and partners’ perspectives

Näsström, Lena January 2015 (has links)
Introduction: Patient participation is important for improving outcomes and respecting selfdetermination and legal aspects in care. Heart failure is a chronic condition that puts high demands on self-care and patient participation. Patients often need advanced care due to deterioration of their heart failure symptoms, and one option is to provide care as home-care. There is limited knowledge of how patients with heart failure and their partners view participation in home-care. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe different perspectives of participation in structured heart failure home-care among patients with heart failure and their partners. Methods: All patients in this thesis received structured heart failure home-care, according to a model aiming to facilitate care, where safety, participation, and gaining knowledge about the illness and treatment, are in focus. Study I had a prospective pre-post longitudinal design including 100 patients with heart failure receiving home-care. Data was collected by selfadministered questionnaires. Study II had a descriptive design. Nineteen patients receiving home-care were interviewed, and data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. Study III had a descriptive and explorative design. Data was collected by video-recorded observations of 19 home visits and analysed by qualitative content analysis. Study IV had a parallel convergent mixed-method design including 15 partners of patients receiving structured home-care. Data was collected by interviews and self-administered questionnaires. Datasets were first analysed separately and then together. Results: Better self-care behaviour was significantly associated with all measured aspects of participation. Participation by received information increased significantly during the 12-month follow-up (I). Patients’ descriptions of participation included communication between patients and health care professionals, access to care, active involvement in care, a trustful relation with health care professionals, and options for decision-making(II). Observed care encounters revealed that participation was made possible by; (i) interaction, including exchange of care-related information, care-related reasoning, and collaboration, (ii) an enabling approach, including the patient expresses own wishes and shows an active interest, and the nurse is committed and invites to a dialogue (III). Partners scored fairly positive for their participation in care and they performed different levels of caregiving tasks. Descriptions of participation included; adapting to the caring needs and illness trajectory, mastering caregiving demands, interacting with care providers, and gaining knowledge to comprehend the health situation. The mixed-method results showed both convergent results and expanded knowledge (IV). Conclusions: Structured heart failure home-care facilitated participation both for patients and their partners. Patient participation with regard to received information improved significantly after receiving home-care. Aspects of patient participation were consistently associated with better self-care behaviour. Patients’ and partners’ descriptions revealed many aspects of participation, and observed home visits revealed how interaction and an enabling approach underpinned participation.

本研究はプロセス志向の地域福祉計画に焦点をおき、福祉コミュニティとエンパワメントという視点から地域福祉計画策定による効果と、その方法論を明らかにしようとするものである。地域福祉計画策定を福祉コミュニティを実現するツールとして捉え、福祉コミュニティ意識尺度を開発し、その尺度を用いて参加による住民のエンパワメントという効果を実証的に提示した。そして、その効果を最大化していく参加方法について検討し、最後に計画策定への示唆を提示した。 / 博士(社会福祉学) / Doctor of Philosophy in Social Welfare / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University
