The prevalence and characteristics of mental health symptoms among home care recipients in Zurich, Switzerland: A descriptive cross-sectional study
The findings highlight a high prevalence of MHS among home care recipients in Zurich, underscoring the need for tailored home care strategies and comprehensive, standardized assessment tools like interRAI HC and HoNOS. These tools can help identify and address mental health issues more effectively, improving care outcomes for home care recipients. Further research should explore the impact of these assessments on care planning and patient well-being.
