Abstract

This study aims to provide insights into the veterans' home visiting healthcare service by investigating the perceptions of veterans hospital staff regarding visiting treatment for veterans. To achieve this goal, the study conducted a comprehensive literature review on the concept and effectiveness of visiting treatment. Subsequently, a survey was conducted among doctors, nurses, physical/occupational therapists, and administrative staff working at six veterans medical centers nationwide. Among the collected questionnaires, 316 responses suitable for statistical analysis were processed using the SPSS 27.0 program. The main findings and implications of this study are as follows: First, the majority of survey participants expressed a positive view on the necessity of visiting treatment, highlighting its role in enhancing veterans' home visiting healthcare services. Second, it is expected that visiting treatment should encompass a wide range of medical services, examinations, and educational support to effectively address the diverse medical needs of veterans.. Third, the availability of visiting treatment sessions was limited to less than two hours per day, with the optimal frequency being once a week. To meet the demand for visiting treatment among veterans, it is crucial to allocate sufficient dedicated personnel. Fourth, adequate financial planning is essential to realistically secure the funding required for effective implementation of visiting medical treatment. Fifth, it is necessary to carefully consider various aspects of visiting treatment, including potential medical accidents, the safety of medical staff, and the provision of necessary vehicles. Visiting treatment holds significant implications for veterans' health and policy considerations, as it expands the scope of veterans' medical services by offering in-person visits to meet their medical needs. Successful implementation of visiting treatment projects in the future necessitates a firm commitment to governance, ensuring the allocation of adequate budget and personnel resources.
