Abstract

An ex post facto study was conducted to identify factors associated with diabetic patients' access to home health services following hospital discharge. The Andersen (Aday, Fleming, & Andersen, 1984) model of access served as the conceptual framework for the study which examined the relationship between the predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics of the sample, and the realized access indicators of referral to, and acceptance for post-discharge home health services.
