Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Public Health
Social Gerontology

Context:

The implementation of the Dependence Law aims to provide social services to patients in home care programs.
Understanding the factors influencing access to these services is crucial for equitable distribution.

Purpose:

To identify social and health variables associated with receiving social services among home care patients under the Dependence Law.

Summary:

A cross-sectional study of 1068 patients over 64 with chronic diseases in Catalonia found 46.8% received social services.
High dependence (Barthel test), pressure sores, and home care rehabilitation were linked to receiving services.
The Barthel test also correlated with social problems, lack of informal carers, frequent GP visits, and private healthcare.

Impact:

The findings highlight potential inequities in social service access, particularly for middle-class individuals.
The study suggests that the evaluation of the Dependence Law should incorporate patient health status for fairer provision.
Social services remain a critical support system, often acting as an alternative to family care.
