Abstract:
Embodied nursing knowledge and its effects on patient outcomes are understudied in home health. The researchers performed a descriptive correlational study, in nine home health agencies in Ohio, to consider the effects of embodied nursing knowledge in expert practice in 107 registered nurses working in Medicare certified home health agencies. While statistical significance was not noted, findings of this study add to the understanding or research and the outcome improvement scores in home health. Findings also pose the question that the concepts used in acute care to improve mortality rates and patient outcome improvements may be different in home health.
