Itsukaichi T, Suzukamo Y, Izumi S. Factors influencing the planning of home-based rehabilitation services by care managers. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2013; 4: 39-46. Purpose: To describe the planning of home-based rehabilitation (HBR) by care managers and to show the relationship between the knowledge/understanding of the care managers regarding HBR and their planning experience regarding these services. Methods: Five hundred certified care managers in the Miyagi Care Manager Association completed a questionnaire that included queries on the participants' knowledge/understanding of HBR and on their experiences in selecting HBR in their care plans. Factors affecting selection of HBR were explored with the chi-square test, followed by logistic regression analysis. Results: Among 113 care managers who are currently engaged in home-based care, 78 (69%) have experience with HBR. The planning of HBR was affected by the availability of facilities that offer HBR and the knowledge/understanding of care managers. Conclusion:The knowledge/understanding of HBR by the care manager is important to provide the HBR service.
