How did home care nurses support <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 patients in Japan? A qualitative study
Home care nurses act as a flexible safety net, preventing patient deaths by quickly compensating for uncertain support systems before and after initiating care. Their efforts complemented the inadequacies of traditional infectious disease control systems, typically managed by public health centers. Strengthening secondary and tertiary prevention systems is essential for home care nurses to save lives while delivering individualized care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
