Treatment of chronic diseases at home

Treating people at home in their living rooms, instead of at the hospital, is an approach that can help improve quality of life for many patients. “People with severe or chronic diseases often suffer from depression and anxiety. They have the feeling that they are powerless and have little control over their life,” says Heike Spaderna, Professor for Health Psychology at the University of Trier. Being able to choose the treatment time and having more time for yourself and your family can make a big difference in terms of mental health.

“The key to successful treatment at home is the fact that the patients are not alone. Having family or friends to help out and competent caregivers to monitor the treatment is crucial.”

Prof. Dr. Heike Spaderna, Professor for Health Psychology at the University of Trier

If these conditions are in place, treatment at home may be an enormous psychological advantage for the patient.

Is treatment at home just as effective and safe as it is in a hospital?

Some patients fear they will only receive second-rate treatment at home. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, the experiences reported from our home-treatment projects are encouraging.

Parenteral nutrition at home

When patients require parenteral nutrition, they can recover better at home than in a hospital. Furthermore, homecare patients have also demonstrated better therapy adherence. This means that they can be better prepared to keep up with treatment and, for example, they are less likely to voluntarily stop taking their medication.
