[Our HPN guidance].
As many medical services, medicines and instruments are provided for home treatment, the needs of home care are on the increase. The support of the patient's family is required to perform HPN and provide care. There are many problems and fears of self-care and one's own performance HPN. We attempt to make HPN guidance. The selected key person in patient's family is directed by the same nurse using schema and illustrations on HPN. The items to be acquired the theory and practice are assessed together. HPN timetable is done according to the key person's schedule. Before discharge, the patient and family contact with the visiting care nurse team (visiting nurse, doctor, outpatient clinic). The guidance and practice of HPN according to the schedule or offering it to the patient and family are readily accepted. It is important to remove the problems and fears associated with establishing a medical support system.
