House nursing in Vorarlberg: Opportunities for a self -determined life!

House-HISCHENDURGE plays a central role in health care in Vorarlberg, as the managing director of the Hauskrankenpflege State Association, Johanna Rebling-Neumayr. The advantages of house nursing are complex: it enables people in need of care to stay in their familiar surroundings and to live independently. This not only contributes to safety, but also to the emotional well -being of those affected. The knowledge that the loss of autonomy is often associated with clinic stays underlines the importance of this form of care. Mobile house nursing is unique in Vorarlberg because it is organized over 66 non -profit associations and 47 regional bases that are deeply anchored in the communities. This structure promotes short communication channels and family team structures that increase the attractiveness as an employer. VOL.AT reports that 80% of the nursing staff in Vorarlberg are qualified health and nursing staff and that the payment is attractive thanks to a "very good" collective agreement and additional benefits compared to state hospitals.

Nevertheless, there are serious challenges to master. Forecasts show that Austria could lack up to 200,000 nurses by 2050, which is particularly due to the demographic change. The proportion of older people who need more intensive medical care will increase strongly, while experienced nurses will retire at the same time. This is accompanied by the lack of young people and the high demolition rate during the training in nursing professions. The lack of personnel will therefore continue to worsen. Pflegenot-deutschland.de also indicates that the profession of caregiver becomes more unattractive for young people, which further complicates the situation.

social responsibility in nursing

A central aspect is social responsibility for the care that should not only be the responsibility of women within the family. The need to understand care as a task as a whole is of great importance. In order to strengthen the security of supply in the region, membership is offered to support, which is between € 27 and € 49 per budget and year. This applies to all people living in the household and not only ensures house nursing, but also enables savings through voluntary management of up to 11 million euros annually.

The integration question is also important. More male nurses are necessary to meet the needs of all patients. A lack of male models in this professional field can affect the interest of men in nursing professions. Current efforts to promote the appreciation of nursing professions and to improve public relations can help to change the image of nursing professions.
