Abstract:
Quality-of-life issues in home care are complex. Nurses not only must help the family consider these factors for the patient at home, but also they must examine the effects of home care on the primary caregiver and the entire family. Nurses use a holistic view in assessment to diagnose the needs of the client and the caregiver. Physiologic, psychologic, cultural, spiritual, and sociologic aspects are all considered. Nurses have an important role in assisting clients and their families to maximize the benefits of home care. They can help them with the provision of care in the current situation and to plan for the future for appropriate levels of care as the client's condition changes. These actions will result in an optimum quality of life for the client and the client's family.
