Abstract
Currently, with advances in medical science, the average lifespan of citizens is gradually increasing worldwide, resulting in the emergence of an aging society. Aged patients are especially prone to suffering from various chronic diseases, and many elderly patients select to receive home-based care. Thus, professional care in elderly patients' homes is needed, which also represents a mark of social development. Today, home health nursing is widely applied, including nursing of post labor mothers and their infants, and osteoporosis patients, among others. The aim of the present study was to explore the home health nursing model and its applicable range, as well as existing problems and the impact of the model in the domestic settings.
