概要: application/pdf<br />Journal Article<br />Purpose : The study was conducted to ascert ain what was actually done for elderly myocardi al infarction\n(hereafter MI) patients by proficient nurses and to identify problems with selficare that they encountered\nin their daily nursing practice. Methods: A focus-group interview was carried out on proficient nurses\nin two hospitals. The interview was recorded and later transcribed for inductive qualitative analysis.\nResults : Content-wise problems with selficare that proficient nurses encountered in their nursing care\nwere related to the issues of a low-salt diet, medication management, and activities, whereas method-wise\nproblems were related to the issues of a decline in understanding and cognitive abilities, family functions,\nand continuity of nursing. The major place of nursing for patients was the hospital ward (treatment\nright after MI). Out of the features categorized into 1 5 extracted from my preceding study, the categories\nthat were frequently confirmed by both groups were: "Patient!s anxiety about recurrence," "Reduction\nin the level and scope of activities," and "Observation of the process up to coronary angiography after\nleaving hospital." This study added three categories as to issues in continuous nursing. Conclusions :\nIn order to cope with difficulties in supporting elderly patients who had selficare problems in a limited\nperiod of hospitalization, important were the continuity of nursing in the ward, the outpatient depart-\nment and a hospital stay for examination, and coordination with people in other domains such as\nregistered dieticians and pharmacists. 続きを見る
