Hospital in the home: constructions of the nursing role – a literature review

Abstract: Acute medical and nursing treatment in the home is increasingly seen as an alternative to hospitalization. Models such as hospital in the home (HITH) or acute home care are said to provide a safe, comfortable environment for patients that is conducive to healing. A review of the literature reveals the embryonic nature of the research and discussion related to this alternative care delivery model. In general, the benefits of hospital in the home programmes are presented in an uncritical manner. Medical practiti… Show more

“…Therefore there is now a whole generation of DMD-sufferers with the experience of living with severe physical impairment, DMD and HMV who have significant experience of being totally dependent in all aspects in life. People requiring HMV are described from the professional's viewpoint as the most vulnerable group with chronic disability (Stuart & Weinrich, 2001), they appear to miss out on an active social life; and people requiring HMV don't appear to be visibly engaging in social activities in the community (Duke & Street, 2003). The care they require places great demands on families/caregivers-economically, physically and socially, as well as on the health care service (Vitacca et al, 2007).…”

“…A range of relationships have been described including how places are attributed symbolic identity by, and in relation to, nurses (Savage, 1997;Halford and Leonard, 2003;Cheek, 2004;Gilmour, 2006), and thus how places characterise and express particular professional nursing specialisms. Place has been positioned as crucial to the nature of mental health care (Montgomery, 2001;Andes and Shattell, 2006), community health (Bender et al, 2007), home care (Duke and Street, 2003), gerontology and geriatrics (Cheek, 2004) and midwifery (Lock and Gibb, 2003). Other studies have investigated the dynamics between places and nurse-patient decisions, ethics, interactions and relationships (Purkis, 1996;Malone, 2003;Bucknall, 2003;Peter and Liaschenko, 2004;Shattell et al, 2008;Seto-Nielsen et al, 2013).…”
