Abstract

Background: The demand for home care services has increased not only due to the increase in the elderly population but also due to consumer preference and technological advances that allow for the provision of sophisticated home care. Home healthcare services aim to help people improve their performance, live a more independent life, improve their well-being, and help them stay at home, and avoid hospitalization. Objective: This study was conducted to compare the quality of life (QoL) of COVID-19 patients under home care at a hospital in Qazvin City, Iran. Methods: his study was a cohort study. The samples included two groups of patients, hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 and patients with COVID-19 who received medical and nursing care at home. Patients were matched for age, underlying disease, and severity of the COVID-19 disease. In this study, a 3-month follow-up on changes in QoL compared to before hospitalization and receiving care at home was performed using a QoL questionnaire (SF-12). Findings: The mean score of QoL in the home care group was 32.36±2.15 and in the hospitalized group, it was 29.70±2.94, which shows a statistically significant difference, and the quality of home care patients reported to be higher than hospitalized patients (P<0.001, t=7.20) Conclusion: Receiving hospital care at home increases the QoL for patients with COVID-19. This finding can be generalized during different epidemics, and home care can be an excellent alternative to hospitalization for some patients.

COVID-19患者在家与医院护理的生活质量比较
背景:对家庭护理服务的需求增加不仅是因为老年人口的增加,还因为消费者的偏好和技术的进步,使得提供复杂的家庭护理成为可能。家庭保健服务旨在帮助人们改善他们的表现,过上更独立的生活,改善他们的幸福感,并帮助他们呆在家里,避免住院。目的:比较伊朗加兹温市某医院COVID-19家庭护理患者的生活质量。方法:该研究为队列研究。样本包括两组患者,因COVID-19住院的患者和在家接受医疗和护理的COVID-19患者。患者根据年龄、基础疾病和COVID-19疾病的严重程度进行匹配。在本研究中,使用生活质量问卷(SF-12)对患者的生活质量进行了为期3个月的随访,以比较住院前和接受家庭护理前的生活质量变化。结果:居家护理组的生活质量平均评分为32.36±2.15分,住院组的生活质量平均评分为29.70±2.94分,差异有统计学意义,且居家护理患者的生活质量高于住院患者(P<0.001, t=7.20)。结论:居家护理可提高COVID-19患者的生活质量。这一发现可以在不同的流行病期间推广,对一些病人来说,家庭护理可以是住院治疗的一个很好的替代方案。
