Description
Background: Physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted
the activities of daily living (ADLs) of families, such as physical and psychosocial
aspects, self-efficacy, family social function, and overall quality of life. However,
research investigating the effects of home health care in enhancing these aspects
during the physical distancing period remains limited.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of implementing home health
care on physical and psychosocial aspects, self-efficacy, family social function, and
quality of life of families in East Java Province, Indonesia.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 768 healthy families
that were purposively recruited from April to May 2020. The home health care
program was implemented for one month to provide nursing care to the families.
Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, and SPSS software was
employed for data analysis. Chi-square tests were applied for categorical variables,
while paired t-tests were used for continuous variables.
Results: Significant differences were observed in blood pressure, pulse, and
temperature before and after the implementation of home health care during the
physical distancing period (p<0.05). There was an increase in body mass index
(23.29(5.59) vs. 23.78(7.53); p=0.001). Notably, significant differences were also
found in COVID-19 exposure risk factors, personal risk factors, sleep patterns, and
physical activity before and after home health care (p<0.05). Furthermore,
improvements were noted in self-efficacy, family social function, and the quality of
life of the families after one month of home health care (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Home health care during physical distancing positively affected the
physical and psychosocial aspects, self-efficacy, family social function, and quality
of life of the families. Thus, the guidance and support offered through home health
care should be further developed to help families navigate the “new normal” era of
COVID-19.
