Difficulties and Measures Taken in the Safety Care of Elderly People with Dementia at those Healthcare Facilities for the Elderly which Implement "Unit Care"

本研究的目的是发现在老年保健机构实施“单位护理”的老年痴呆症患者的安全护理所遇到的困难。它的目的是检查在执行安全护理时采取的措施——实际计划和例行程序。研究方法包括于2009年对医护人员进行录音访谈。然后，在2010年将基于访谈的问卷邮寄到1000家机构（3000名工作人员）。共收集有效回复545份。运用因子分析检验构念效度。对在这些医疗机构对老年痴呆症患者进行安全护理的困难和采取的措施进行的因素分析得出了25个因素。将受试者分为“单位护理”组和“非单位护理”组。结果25项指标组间无显著性差异。

This study was designed to discover the difficulties experienced in the safety care of elderly people with dementia at those healthcare facilities for the elderly which put 'Unit Care' into effect. And it aimed to examine the measures-the actual plans and routines-that are taken while carrying out safety care.

And then, the questionnaire based on interviews was mailed to 1000 facilities (3000 staff members) on 2010. A total of 545 valid responses were collected. Construct validity was examined using factor analysis. A factor analysis of difficulties and measures taken in the safety care of elderly people with dementia at those Healthcare Facilities yielded 25 factors.
