In recent years, the recipients of the services of the health centers in Korea have been shifted from individual sick persons to families as a unit. As a result, the home visiting care records which are all filled out manually, will be increased. Since there is virtually no increase in the number of community health nurses, the CHNs are required to work more efficiently. One of the ways to make the CHNs' work more efficient is to reduce recording time by using a computer. However, a computer system that can manage the families as a unit has not yet been developed. In response to this need, we developed a database system that can be utilized in home visiting care service. The family assessment data is collected. diagnosed. and evaluated according to the family diagnosis classification. The system for family diagnosis consists of seven areas. Those areas are family structure. maintenance of the family system, interaction and interchange. support. coping and adaptation, health management. and housing environment. The areas of the family diagnosis consists of 99 items in all. We expect the following from this system. First. the CHNs will be able to identify family problems more easily. Second. the community's health level can be confirmed by the statistics the system produces. Thirdly, the CHNs' nursing services will be cost effective via reduced recording time. Finally, the family problems of the sick individuals which have been neglected under the health system oriented on individual persons can be effectively managed.

This study was done to examine the home care service provided by home care nurses and the level of client satisfaction. Data were collected from 110 clients who received the home care service at the P-hospital in Pusan from 23th April, 2001 to 30th November, 2002. The tool for measurement of satisfaction was composed of 16 items and was 4 score scale. Data was analyzed by using SPSS/WIN 10.5 program, the results of this study are summarized as follows; 1) 77.3% among 110 clients were over sixty years old. By the disease pattern. subjects were distributed into cancer(52.7%), cerebro-vascular disease(22.7%) and the others. 36.4% of clients were received home visits from 10 to 20 times by home care nurse. 2) The total number of home care services was 20,828. And most of the clients received the health education and training. 3) The mean score of satisfaction on provided home care services was $3.36\pm0.45$, out of 4. among 16 items. 'The home care nurses were kind enough' was highest ($3.59\pm0.49$), the total level of satisfaction of home care services was very high. with total mean score $53.84\pm7.16$. As mentioned above. the satisfaction level of home care services was very high. so we can except that the prospect of home care services is very challengeable. Therefore. we should try to expand the service recipients with promotional education to the home care clients under the cooperation with medical staff and make more efforts to develop the management system about clients' information. to improve the quality of the service, to assure close ties with the public health centers for the continuous home care service linking.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of the clients registered in the department of home health care nursing in a hospital and to analyze nursing intervention activities recorded in charts by application of Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) system. For the descriptive survey study, data were collected by reviewing charts of 572 home health care clients between May, 1997 and July, 2000 at K hospital in Seoul. The average age of the clients was 66 years and the number of clients in their 70s ranked first with 28.2 percent(158 people). The mean length of home care service was 47 days with the highest frequency of less than four weeks (56 %). With regard to medical diagnosis, cancer showed the highest frequency (48%, 271 people), followed by cerebrovascular disease (19%), and pulmonary disease (6.9%). According to analysis of nursing interventions by the NIC system, the most frequently used nursing interventions in level 1 were interventions in the Physiological: Complex domain which were used 3,663 times (33%) among 11,107 total interventions. The Safety domain was the second most frequently used intervention, followed by the Physiological: Basic, and the Behavioral domains. In level 2, the Risk Management class was the most frequently used interventions with 3,108 interventions (27.9%), followed by Drug Management, and Tissue Perfusion Management classes. In level 3 interventions, Vital Sign Monitoring was the most frequently used intervention, 569 times (5.1%), followed by Health Screening, and Neurological Monitoring interventions. In sum, half of the clients in the study had cancer and were in their 70s. The most frequent reason for ending home care was death (40%), followed by readmission (28%). These findings represent clients with severe conditions referred to the home care nursing department as it was a University teaching hospital. Further research on analyzing nursing interventions performed in each institution needs to be conducted to develop a standardized list of nursing interventions to use in home health care settings.
