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老年痴呆症患者在实施“单元护理”的老年保健设施中的安全护理所遇到的困难。它的目的是检查在进行安全护理时采取的措施-实际计划和费用。研究方法包括2009年对医疗保健人员进行录音访谈。然后，基于访谈的问卷于2010年邮寄给1000个设施（3000名工作人员）。共收集到545份有效答卷。构念效度采用因素分析进行检验。因素分析的困难和采取的措施，在这些医疗机构的老年痴呆症患者的安全护理产生了25个因素。将受试者分为“单元护理”组和“非单元护理”组。结果，25个因素组间无显著差异。

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. The study method involved undertaking recorded interviews with the healthcare staff members on 2009. 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. The subjects were classified into "unit care" group and "non unit care" group. As a result, there was no significant difference in 25 factors between groups.
