Abstract:
:Although nurse auxiliaries comprise a large and rapidly expanding part of the district nursing service, nursing research has largely neglected this group of nurses and the people they see. Using a patient-centred approach, which is a key element of the research, we studied the characteristics of patients who were either physically handicapped, frail elderly or elderly mentally infirm, who make up a large majority of the patients. We found that auxiliaries' patients fell into a typical 'at risk' group; they were older and more likely to be living alone than qualified nurses' patients, and yet they received less frequent visits. Motives for providing and continuing the service to patients were not always related to nursing need, and while recipients were grateful for the service, both they and auxiliaries themselves identified areas of potential improvement. The need to continue to monitor and improve the overall quality, effectiveness and efficiency of the service to patients and potential patients, demands that practitioners, managers and researchers systematically review referral to the service and the work of the nurse auxiliary using a patient-focused approach.
