Purpose: To provide the data for improving home health care through investigating the recognition of home care services and the possibility of providing it by nurses, doctors and patients.
Method: The subjects were 167 nurses and 71 doctors who were working at a general hospital in Seoul and 72 patients who were admitted to that hospital. Data were collected through questionnaire surveys from November 29 to December 17 in 2004.
Result: Home care services were recognized by 70.7% of nurses, 64.8% of doctors and 58.4% of patients. The percentages of agreement regarding the necessity of home care services were 70.7% of nurses, 47.9% of doctors and 86.1% of patients. The percentages of agreement to refer the patients to home care when they only want to receive it, were 58.1% of nurses and 57.7% of doctors. There were significantly higher in nurses than doctors between the differences of possible or impossible percentages in agreements about each items in the test-related services, medication-related services and treatment-related services.
