Introduction:
Nursing home visits play a key role in healthcare by providing personalized care at home. However, their impact on the population's perception of health status remains not yet fully understood.
Objective:
To determine the relationship between the quality of nursing home visits and the perception of health status in the Peruvian population.
Materials And Methods:
An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with 482 people. The "Home Visits" and "SF-36" questionnaires were used to collect data. The analysis was carried out using binary logistic regression.
Results:
A total of 91.49% of participants reported an adequate perception of their health status, and 90.88% rated the quality of home visits as good. Bivariate analysis revealed significant differences according to age (p=0.005), having children (p=0.001), and the quality of home visits (p=0.001). In the multivariate analysis, having children (OR: 4.96; 95% CI: 1.38-17.74) and receiving good-quality home visits (OR: 20.79; 95% CI: 9.12-47.42) were associated with a more favorable perception of health status.
Discussion:
These findings suggest that higher-quality home visits are associated with a more favorable perception of health status, aligning with previous studies on the importance of home care.
Conclusion:
Strengthening the quality of home visits could improve the population's perception of health.
