By Dr. Nicola Verdirame, Nurse at Aventino Medical Group, Rome
Introduction: a concrete service for complex needs
Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis require continuous care and sometimes delicate procedures. Home nursing care, which I provide on behalf of Aventino Medical Group in Rome, is designed to guarantee patients qualified technical support directly at home. The goal is to simplify therapy management, reduce the need for travel, and ensure continuity of care in line with medical instructions.
Home nursing services: comprehensive and accurate interventions
From routine treatment to more specialized procedures
Daily activities include infusions, administration of biologic therapies, blood sampling, advanced dressings, and catheter management. All procedures are performed according to the indications of Aventino Medical Group physicians and in line with the guidelines of the Italian National Institute of Health and the WHO. Providing these services at home helps save time, reduce the stress of travel, and maintain therapeutic continuity even in complex clinical situations.
Coordination with specialists
Teamwork when needed
When the clinical picture requires it, home nursing activities are integrated with the input of the various specialists following the patient: rheumatologists, neurologists, internists, and other professionals from our clinic. This coordination ensures that every procedure is carried out according to the therapeutic plan, guaranteeing maximum safety and consistency of care.
The nurse as caregiver trainer
The effectiveness of this role is fully expressed in the ability to transfer knowledge and practical skills to the caregiver. The nurse teaches the family member to:
- Manage medication administration: explaining correct dosages, schedules, and methods.
- Perform simple dressings: demonstrating sterile techniques and the materials to use.
- Take care of the patient’s personal hygiene: providing advice on how to move the patient to prevent bedsores and ensure maximum comfort.
- Recognize warning signs: teaching how to promptly identify symptoms that require medical intervention.
This training process not only relieves the caregiver of emotional and practical burdens but also makes them an active and aware participant in the care pathway. By feeling more competent and confident, the caregiver can provide higher-quality assistance, significantly contributing to the patient’s well-being and quality of life. The home nurse thus becomes a point of reference, a valuable ally for the whole family, ensuring continuity of care that goes beyond the simple professional service.
A service that facilitates disease management
Technical expertise at the core of care
Home nursing is not just about avoiding travel: it is an organizational model that allows patients to receive specialized care promptly and in full compliance with medical prescriptions. Technical interventions performed with attention and precision make managing autoimmune diseases simpler and safer for patients and their families.
Conclusion
Home nursing care represents essential support for those facing complex and continuous therapies. Through my work with Aventino Medical Group, it is possible to receive qualified services, including the most delicate ones, directly at home, in coordination with the specialists involved in the patient’s care.
