title: Social relations modeling in telehomecare.
abstract: Telehomecare usage requires that patients, home-helpers and nurses interact as a group using remote communication technology. Group interaction produces many levels of social variance that contribute to outcomes. It is unknown how social variances in remote interaction influence outcomes. Social Relations Model (SRM) approach is currently used to analyze individual, relational and group influences on family outcomes. SRM applied to telehomecare groups contributes to better understanding of the influence of remote relationships on patient outcomes.
