[Examination of reason to make being at home death difficult--from 42 patients died at home treatment].
On the basis of 42 patients who used temporary nursing at home before death from February 1993 to May 2000, we examined various factors thought to influence home and hospital deaths. As a result, we realized the rates of home deaths increased since the establishment of the visit nursing section. We think that the maintenance and understanding of home medical treatment and the visit system on the part of the service providers and is necessary to realize home death.
