由於醫學的進步而增加了病患的存活率,當病患存活率上升,住在復健科病房的病患也隨之增加。但是國內目前卻很少有探討復健病房病人需求之相關研究,因此瞭解病患的「需求」在臨床工作上相當重要,唯有確知服務對象的需求,才能真正落實全人照顧。 本研究主要目的為了解復健科病房病患需求。以中部地區某醫院之復健科病房之病患為例,共收集了116份有效問卷, 以SPSS 12.0統計軟體進行資料分析。研究結果發現,研究對象在生理層面之需求著重在休息與睡眠;心理社會層面需求著重在需要重要他人的鼓勵與支持;訊息層面需求則著重在殘障手冊與相關補助的辦理、專業人員對未來復原情形及復健活動進行中的說明;醫療照護層面需求則著重於健康照護人員能用心傾聽。 經由本研究之發現,研究者針對不同的健康照護人員提出不同的建議,期望本研究結果可做為復健病房之臨床健康照護人員提供全人照顧的參考。
