Objective: to analyze opportunities for orientations to promote the care of premature infants during home visits and telephone support. Method: a qualitative study from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics conducted with 18 mothers of premature infants discharged from hospital. Hospital contact and interviews were carried out, 15 and 45 days after discharge and at the infants’ six months of life, with data analysis by interpretation of meanings from 25 home visits and 56 telephone support contacts. Results: the following two thematic units emerged: Needs for contact and guidance: the place for home visits and opportunities for resolving doubts by telephone support, indicating aspects that suggest weakening child health, discontinuity in follow-up and vulnerability in specialized follow-ups. Home visits and telephone support favored the concern of health needs, doubts about basic care and problem solving, as ways to prevent damage and promote child health. Conclusion: home visits and telephone support emerge as collaborative practices of care and detection of latent conditions, which can be reduced or interrupted with prompt return of guidance, suggesting opportune strategies to increase follow-up, linkage and access to the health services.

Abstract Dementia takes a significant toll on caregivers resulting in their suffering from chronic stress and depression due to responsibility for care for persons with dementia (PWD). Behaviors of PWD could be aggravated by inappropriate responses by family caregivers such as correcting PWD’s memories. The study purpose is to examine the feasibility of a home-visit-based intervention designed to promote communication skills with PWD and well-being in family caregivers. This pilot study used a single-arm experimental pre-post design to test the feasibility of 4 weekly home visits for 13 female family caregivers in Southern California (spouse, n=7; adult children, n=6; mean age=64.3, ranging 46-82). Trained home visitors used video scenarios for behavioral education for caregivers. All caregivers completed the entire home visit program. Significantly caregiver burden was decreased from baseline (M(SD)=51.38(4.58)) to follow-up at 5 weeks (M=43.31(5.67), Wilcoxon signed rank test: p=.04). Additionally, caregiver-reported PWD’s negative behaviors were reduced from baseline to follow-up (Mbase=22.31(3.52), Mfolllowup=19.31(4.4), p=.13). There were other improvements (non-significant) in greater caregiver self-efficacy and less depressive symptoms from baseline to follow-up. Caregiver satisfaction with the intervention was high (M=4.6(0.65) of 5). Qualitatively, participants appreciated the home visits for educational sessions and welcomed the empathy provided. Caregivers expressed better communications and responsiveness to the PWDs. The results showed the home-visit-based caregiver intervention was feasible and had a potential effectiveness on reduction of caregiver burden and possibly on self-efficacy and well-being. A larger-scale study will be needed to demonstrate long term positive effects on caregiver interactive skills and their well-being.

Abstract Background Caregiver engagement and collaborative team early childhood intervention (ECI) services are international trends; however, relevant evidence of collaborative home-visiting ECI in rural areas is as yet undetermined. Objective The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a collaborative ECI program in a rural area of Taiwan. Design The study was a pilot randomized control led trial. Methods Children aged 6 to 33 months experiencing motor delays and their caregivers were enrolled in Taitung, Taiwan. Using stratified randomization, 24 participants were allocated to either experimental or control groups, and both received 5 home visits within 3 months. The experimental group received ECI services based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework and family-centered approaches. The control group received regular home visits by local social workers. Child outcomes included Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Chinese Version and Peabody Developmental Motor Scale, 2nd edition. Family outcomes included the Disability-Adapted Infant–Toddler version of Home Observation for Measurement, and Chinese versions of the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory and Parental Stress Index-Short Form. A tester blinded to the study conducted assessments at baseline, postintervention, and 3-month follow-up. Two-way mixed analysis of variance was used with α = .05 (2-tailed). Results The experimental group improved scores on the Disability-Adapted Infant–Toddler version of Home Observation for Measurement significantly more than the control group with an effect size of 0.64 at follow-up. In other outcomes, both groups showed no significant differences. The follow-up rate was 69%, and adherence to the ECI program was acceptable. Limitations A limitation of the study was the heterogeneity of the sample. Conclusions This pilot study revealed possible effectiveness in implementing collaborative ECI programs based on family-centered approaches and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in rural areas. Larger field studies are needed to confirm our findings.
