[Subjects] The subjects of this study were home-visit rehabilitation users andproviders. [Methods] Home-visit rehabilitation users and providers were givenself-administered questionnaires regarding home-visit rehabilitation, such as the contentand subjective effects. The McNemar’s test was used for statistical analysis. [Results]Responses of 34 pairs meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Mean user age was 75.2± 9.2 years, and 58.8% (20/34) of respondents were female. In terms of home-visitrehabilitation content, users believed that the following 3 items had been “implemented”to a greater extent than that estimated by providers: paralysis improvement exercise,floor sitting and standing, and self-care activities. No significant differences inawareness were identified between users and providers regarding themaintenance/improvement effects of home-visit rehabilitation. [Conclusion] Users tend toconsider that programs aimed at relieving symptoms and pain and improving mobility arebeing implemented to a greater extent than that considered by providers. Providers need toexplain the aims of home-visit rehabilitation programs in a way that can be understood byusers.Key words: Home-visit rehabilitation, Subjective effects, Rehabilitation program |
