[Investigation of the actual conditions of users of a home-visiting bathing service based on the long-term care insurance care ranking and factors affecting the judgment of bathing possibility].
AIM: In home-visiting bathing services (HVBs), a nurse's role is to evaluate the vital signs, judge bathing possibilities and provide treatment before/after bathing. There are no guidelines regarding specific physical criteria for judging the bathing possibility. However, the body condition of HVB users during bathing has not been investigated. Thus, the present study aimed to clarify users' actual conditions and the factors related to the judgment of the possibility of bathing.
METHODS: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey of HVBs users was conducted by Company-A, which provides HVBs. Six hundred sixty responses were collected (response rate: 40.1%).We described the conditions of HVB users and used chi-squared tests and logistic regression analyses to confirm the factors, including the certified Long-term Care Insurance (LTCI) care rank, past medical history and physical conditions that were associated with aborted HVB experiences.
RESULTS: The mean age of the care-recipients was 82.1±12.1 and 93.3% of the recipients had severe conditions, including conditions necessitation the use of medical equipment, pressure ulcers, and contracture. The logistic regression analysis showed that the LTCI-certified-care-rank, the presence of pain, and the need for treatment before bathing were significant factors.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that users of HVBs not only had high LTCI-certified-care ranks, but that they also required pain management and pre-bathing treatment.
