Abstract
Objective To understand the status of demands of community nursing service for the aged and to explore a new nursing model provided for the aged which suited our county's status of aging society. Methods From November 2017 to January 2018, totals of 292 elderly patients were investigated on nursing demands at the site in Harbin Daoli District Gongle Community Health Centre, Jianguo Community Health Centre and Tongjiang Community Health Centre. Besides, managers of the three community health institutes were interviewed. Descriptive method and logistic regression were used to analyze our country's community nursing service for the aged and demands. Results Some (76.03%) of the 292 elderly patients had urgent needs for community nursing service for the aged with the highest needs for the emergency nursing competency and mental nursing (43.83% and 38.01%) of nurses in community health institutes. Whether to provide door-to-door service by community medical staffs was effected by their ages, whether to obtain the vocational qualification, previous nurse-patient relationship and the number of community permanent residents (P<0.05). For the moment, community home based care for the aged nursing model still had defects, such as the incomplete nursing service system for the aged, deviation between nursing education for the aged and job training system, severely inadequate numbers of nurses for the aged. Conclusions Many of the aged are with demands of community nursing service along with emergency nursing competency and mental nursing being in the majority. Ever-increasing demands of community nursing service for the aged can be satisfied by the model, such as government' support and coordination, purchasing long-term care insurance, improving nursing personnel training thought for the aged in community and expanding the development channel for the nursing human resources for the aged.
