    Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2011
    Co-Authors: Asae Oura, Mitsuru Mori, Nobufumi Yasuda, Ichiro Miyano, Hisako Izumi, Masakazu Washio
    Abstract:

    Aim:  Depression affecting caregivers is a risk factor for discontinuing at-home care. The present cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate factors related to depression among family caregivers. Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate factors related to depression among family caregivers of the frail elderly. The study included caregivers whose relatives received periodic visits from a nurse from one of seven Sapporo-based home-Visiting Nursing Service stations in October 2008 or from one of nine Kochi-based home-Visiting Nursing Service stations between June 2009 and March 2010. Caregivers were asked to answer a self-administered questionnaire about various factors that might affect their depression and to complete a Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale evaluation. We analyzed 127 pairs of responses in total. Results:  After we adjusted the results for the caregivers' gender and age, the factors that decreased the risk of depression in the Sapporo group related to relieving the stress that results from being a caregiver (OR = 0.12, 95%CI = [0.03, 0.42]) and the ability to independently pay more than ¥10 000 for part of care Service costs (OR = 0.17, 95%CI = [0.05, 0.58]). In contrast, feeling ill was a factor that increased caregivers' risk of depression in the Kochi group (OR = 4.23, 95%CI = [1.29, 13.9]), but not in Sapporo group (OR = 2.53, 95%CI = [0.91, 7.08]). Caregivers in the Sapporo group were more likely to feel ill (P

  • Test on the cost and development on the payment system of home health care Nursing
    Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing, 2006
    Co-Authors: Ho Sihn Ryu, Keysun Jung, Ji Young Lim
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE This study focused on analysing costs per home health care Nursing visit based on home health care Nursing activities in medical institutes. METHOD The data was collected in three stages. First, the cost elements of home health care Nursing Services were collected and 31 home care nurses participated. Second, the workload and caseload of home care Nursing activities were measured by the Easley-Storfjell Instrument(1997). Third, the opinions on improving the home health care Nursing reimbursement system were collected by a nation-wide mailing survey from a total of 125 home care agencies. RESULT The cost of home health care Nursing per visit was calculated as 50,626 won. This was composed of a basic Visiting fee of 35,090 won (about 35 $) and travel fee of 15,536 won (about 15 $). The major problems of the home care Nursing payment system were the low level of the cost per visit, no distinction between first visit and revisits, and the limitations in health insurance coverage for home health care Nursing Services. CONCLUSION This study's results will contribute as a baseline for establishing policies for improvement of the home health care Nursing cost and for applying a community-based Visiting Nursing Service cost.
