Abstract

[Objective] This study aimed to clarify therapists’ thoughts and suggestions on Corporation A’s rehabilitation assessment visits.

[Methods] Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 enrolled therapists. The data were analyzed qualitatively.

[Results] Six kinds of thoughts about the rehabilitation assessment were revealed : “joy of being useful and growing”, “burden of tasks”, “pressure and anxiety”, “conflict and hesitation”, “confusing about the evaluation sheets”, “ingenuity and mental attitude for quality improvement”.

[Conclusions] There is a need to enhance the establishment of education and support systems, the share of ingenuity for quality improvement, and reduction and clarification of tasks related to rehabilitation assessment visits. Additionally, knowledge gained from working with nurses in the field may improve the fulfillment and cooperation by understanding about nurses, which could be applied among the health care professionals’ in-home care.
