“…Existe un uso más alto de servicios de teleasistencia y atención domiciliaria en los 2tipos de confinamiento, estricto y semiconfinamiento (15,6% y 14,0%, respectivamente), pero aún así resulta escaso. Algunos estudios presentan cifras parecidas, en los que las mínimas discrepancias se deben fundamentalmente a que se han realizado con muestras de personas que ya reciben asistencia en el hogar 10,27 . Otros señalan que las personas confinadas suelen utilizar más recursos de salud, aspecto medido por los altos ratios de hospitalización y reingresos, y por el mayor número de visitas a domicilio 1 , y algunos apuntan un mayor riesgo de mortalidad entre la población confinada 2,22,23 .…”

“…Se han realizado algunos intentos para medir la magnitud de este fenómeno en diferentes países [2][3][4][5][6][7] . En España, en los niveles básicos de atención social y sanitaria puede conocerse el problema del confinamiento [8][9][10] . Sin embargo, no se conoce una cifra aproximada de las personas confinadas, ni existen estudios globales de prevalencia ni de características obtenidos de una muestra representativa.…”

“…Quality of life (QOL) of men and family becomes better at home than in the hospital, as there is an evident improvement in vitality, psychosocial well-being, comfort and environmental safety, satisfaction with care received and offered, in a sense of freedom, peace and gratitude for being at home, not glimpse the suffering of others, the possibility of self-care, reducing risk factors, such as poor eating habits [3,17,21,25,32,35,[43][44][45][46]. Thus, we highlight the attributes of home care to the male patient with chronic problems, when this care is practiced with ethics, safety, humanization and grounded in health policies.…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific literature about home care in the context of man's health. Methods: A integrative review carried out in August and September 2015, consisting of 39 articles indexed in the databases SciELO, MED-LINE, LILACS, and BDENF IBECS. Results: The results converged into three categories-home care to the man with chronic problems, granted by formal and informal caregivers; the political and economic, social and educational mismanagement for the caregiver and health care, in man's home care; improvement in health and human quality of life in home care. Conclusion: it becames clear that the characteristics and health problems residing in assisted men are common in Brazil and other countries in addition to the marked improvement in health and quality of life of the man who is assisted at home, compared to its hospital stay.

Prevalence of and factors associated with homebound status among adults in urban and rural Spanish populations

et al. 2016

BackgroundThere is a marked growth in the number of homebound older adults, due mainly to increased life expectancy. Although this group has special characteristics and needs, it has not been properly studied. This study thus aimed to measure the prevalence of homebound status in a community-dwelling population, and its association with both socio-demographic, medical and functional characteristics and the use of health care and social services.MethodsWe used instruments coming under the WHO International Classification of Functioning (ICF) framework to carry out a cross-sectional study on populations aged 50 years and over in the province of Zaragoza (Spain), covering a total of 1622 participants. Persons who reported severe or extreme difficulty in getting out of the house in the last 30 days were deemed to be homebound. We studied associations between homebound status and several relevant variables in a group of 790 subjects who tested positive to the WHODAS-12 disability screening tool.ResultsPrevalence of homebound status was 9.8 % (95 % CI: 8.4 to 11.3 %). Homebound participants tended to be older, female and display a lower educational level, a higher number of diseases, poorer cognition and a higher degree of disability. In fully adjusted models including disability as measured with the ICF-Checklist, the associated variables (odds ratios and [95 % confidence intervals]) were: female gender (3.75 [2.10–6.68]); urban population (2.36 [1.30–4.29]); WHODAS-12 disability (6.27 [2.56–15.40]); depressive symptoms (2.95 [1.86–4.68]); moderate pain (2.37 [1.30–4.31] and severe pain (3.03 [1.31–7.01]), as compared to the group with no/mild pain; hospital admissions in the previous 3 months (2.98 [1.25–7.11]); and diabetes (1.87 [1.03–3.41]). Adjustment for ICF-Checklist disability had a notable impact on most associations.ConclusionsThe study shows that homebound status is a common problem in our setting, and that being disabled is its main determinant. Socio-demographic characteristics, barriers and chronic diseases can also be assumed to be playing a role in the onset of this condition, indicating the need for further research, including longitudinal studies on its incidence and associated factors.
