A Pilot Study Exploring Treatment Burden in a Skilled Nursing Population.
Rehabilitation Nursing : the Official Journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses 2018 September 29
PURPOSE: This study aimed to measure treatment burden in adults diagnosed with multiple chronic conditions transitioning from a skilled nursing facility to home.
DESIGN: Prospective, two-time point, cohort design utilizing convenience sampling from one skilled nursing facility in Northeast, Ohio.
METHODS: Seventy-four men and women participated answering self-report questions measuring treatment burden at two time points: prior to discharge and 30 days after discharge.
RESULTS: t-test analysis determined treatment burden was not statistically different between time points (p > .05). Multivariate analysis explained 23% of treatment burden's variance, with the severity of multiple chronic conditions and the presence of a caregiver predicting treatment burden (p < .05).
CONCLUSION: Findings were contrary to our hypothesis of this population being at risk for high treatment burden.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Moderate, fluctuating levels of treatment burden suggest that it is possible to estimate demands of treatment prior to discharge from the skilled nursing facility to better inform discharge planning.
