Abstract

Background: Because of the variety of services and resources offered in the delivery of home health care, its management is a challenging and difficult task. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the administrative aspects of the delivery of home health care services. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted based on the traditional content analysis approach in 2015 in Iran. The participants were selected using the purposeful sampling method and data were collected through in-depth semi-structured personal interviews and from discussions in a focus group. The collected data were analyzed using the Lundman and Graneheim method. Results: 23 individuals participated in individual interviews, and the collected data were categorized into the two main themes of policymaking and infrastructures, each of which consisted of some subcategories. Conclusion: Health policymakers could utilize the results of this study as baseline information in making decisions about the delivery of home health care services, taking into account the contextual dimensions of home care services, leading to improvements in home health care services. © 2018 The Author(s).
