dc.description.abstract |
A retrospective study was conducted to determine the
relationship between the Functional Independent Measure
Systems (FIMS) and quality of life in post long-term
ventilator dependent patients who were discharged from a
rehabilitation hospital. The database from the hospital's
medical records was used to obtain patient information on
patients who were discharged home following long-term
ventilator dependency.
Chronic ventilator dependent patients who were admitted
to a rehabilitation hospital in northeast Ohio, and
subsequently discharged home, were identified. A survey was
conducted to determine the patient's quality of life
following their discharge from the hospital. These patient
responses were then correlated with a composite FIM score.
A total of eighteen post ventilator dependent patients
responded to the survey that was conducted. Overall, the
analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship
existed between a higher composite FIM score and specific
areas in post long-term ventilator dependent patient's
quality of life. |
