Purpose: This study was done to examine nurses’ work and roles by analyzing the nursing practice of nurses caring for elders at home under the paid welfare system.
Method: The participants were 352 elders receiving nursing care at home under the paid welfare system between Jan. 2006 and Oct. 2008. Frequencies and percentages with MS Office Excel were used to analyze the data. In addition, correlation between the number of illnesses for each patient and nursing interventions according to the age of the elder were analyzed using the SPSS program.
Results: The mean age was 78.6(±5.95) years, 67.7% had high school graduation or higher education, the average number of chronic illnesses was 2.36(±1.35), but over 92.6% had at least one chronic illnesses. Based on the 4 categories of the OMAHA intervention scheme, surveillance was the category with the highest frequency at 52.9%. The category of treatments and procedures was the lowest at 9.3%.
