Dagens #fsvoversigt:
Evaluations of home care interventions for frail older persons using the
interRAI Home Care instrument: a systematic review of the literature.
J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2015 Feb;16(2):173.e1-10
Authors: De Almeida Mello J, Hermans K, Van Audenhove C, Macq J, Declercq A
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This systematic review describes the use of the interRAI
Home Care (interRAI HC) instrument, an internationally validated comprehensive
geriatric assessment, as a base for the evaluation of home care projects.
Because of the evidence base of the instrument and its widespread use,
researchers can make a thorough evaluation of projects and interventions in
home care and can also have insight in international comparisons. The aim of
this systematic review is to identify research that evaluates interventions in
the home care setting using this comprehensive geriatric assessment and to
describe these evaluations and report the results of the use of this instrument.
DESIGN: Two independent reviewers constructed a comprehensive list of Medical
Subject Headings, which was designed for 5 explicit categories: (1)
interventions; (2) evaluation; (3) home care; (4) interRAI HC; and (5) older
person. A systematic literature search was then performed in the main
electronic databases Web of Science, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PsycInfo, and
CINAHL for the years 1990 to 2013.
SETTING: Home care.
MEASUREMENTS: Studies were described and the following information was
extracted from the articles: mean age and proportion of gender of participants;
sample size; location of the study; goal of the study; main findings; main
limitations; and results of the evaluation of the interRAI HC instrument.
RESULTS: A total of 349 articles were identified. Eighteen studies met our
inclusion criteria describing 18 interventions in home care evaluated with the
interRAI HC instrument.
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review can help researchers to plan evaluation of
interventions in home care. The interRAI HC instrument proves to be a
comprehensive tool to measure outcomes and can serve as an evaluation
instrument for interventions. It can also be used as an intervention itself,
when caregivers use the tool and its outcome measures to implement a care plan.
