Abstract
This study identified changes in blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels in frail elderly adults who received home health care nursing over 8 years in Korea. Secondary data extracted from nursing records (2010-2018) of a public health center were analyzed using a mixed model of repeated measure. Study participants were elderly people (n = 499) with a mean age of 81.9 ± 5.56 years. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 8.97 and 15.78 mmHg, and by 2.92 and 5.01 mmHg, respectively, at 4-year and 8-year monitoring. This demonstrates that home health care nursing is effective and has both short- and long-term benefits.
