This study clarifies the characteristics of the current home health nursing education as well as their relationship with the expected learning outcomes for home health nursing practice in a bachelor of nursing curriculum.
We conducted a questionnaire survey of home nursing faculty members at 247 nursing universities. The analysis targets 108 universities. The survey gathered data regarding the basic attributes, the characteristics of the home nursing practice system, and the results of the expected outcomes. The average score of the home health nursing behavior expectation scale was 95.2 points (SD = 19.2), and the average score of the interprofessional behavior expectation scale was 52.7 points (SD = 11.8). A multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the group with a higher ratio of visiting nurse practical training days had higher evaluation scores for home health nursing behavior (p<0.05). Fewer than 80 associates (p<0.05), teachers with more than 10 years of home health nursing experience (p<0.05), fewer than 80 students (p<0.05), and universities with independent home health nursing education (p<0.05) all scored higher on interprofessional behavior expectation scale.
The results suggested that maintaining practice at visit nursing agencies and organizing a multifaceted education system could improve the expected outcome of home health nursing practice.
