Tooling nurses to assess complexity in routine home care practice: Derivation of a complexity index from the interRAI-HC.


ABSTRACT:

Aim

Home care nurses often use the Resident Assessment Instrument-Home Care (interRAI-HC) to assess health needs. However, this tool does not assess complexity. This study proposes to derive a complexity index (CI) from the interRAI-HC using the operational definition of the dedicated COMID checklist (COmplexité Multidimensionnelle des prises en soins Infirmières à Domicile).

Design

Data were collected at the baseline assessment of the fraXity study (N = 231, aged ? 65), which relied on an observational longitudinal design.

Methods

Measures were the interRAI-HC, from which the CI binary variables were computed and the COMID, used as a reference.

Results

Twenty-six CI variables were computed from the interRAI-HC, and all but three correlations were significant. The correlation between the CI score and the COMID score was ? = 0.730 (p < .001).

Conclusions

The study demonstrates that complexity can be assessed directly from the interRAI-HC by deriving a CI.
