This qualitative research aimed to explain the experiences and present the bedridden patient care through family caregiving and a community-based model in the new normal. The hermeneutic phenomenology of Martin Heidegger was employed. The research tool was an in-depth interview form used with 56 key informants: 20 bedridden patients, 20 caregivers and 16 community members. The research was conducted in Nakhon Phanom Province from October 2021 to February 2023. Data were analyzed according to the van Manen’s approach.
The results revealed that the experiences in caring for bedridden patients of families and communities in the new normal can be classified based on the following 4 lifeworld existentials. 1) Corporeality consisted of fatigue, struggling life and roles that cannot be escaped. 2) Temporality comprised the golden opportunity of paying gratitude, paying off their past deeds, and living with hope and waiting for a miracle. 3) Spatiality included the world of modern society and being lonely in the wide world. 4) Relationality consisted of family not leaving any family members behind, true friends in difficult times, and public mind. The bedridden patient care through family caregiving and community-based model consisted of 3 main components: Acceptance, Adaptation, and Development, called “AAD Model”.
In conclusion, the bedridden patient care through family caregiving and community-based model should be used with the community model and its efficacy and effectiveness should be evaluated.
