- BACKGROUND: In order to estimate the needs of early intervention in a health education program, an ADL instrument measuring feelings of (in)security was needed. The instrument was intended to detect early signs of decline and to evaluate ADL performance among persons with AMD. An evaluative instrument must have a high level of responsiveness, which is the ability to detect true changes over time but must also show a high level of intra-individual agreement in a test-retest assessment. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop an ADL instrument for evaluative purposes and to establish the reliability and the responsiveness of the instrument. METHOD: The target group comprised all persons referred by an ophthalmologist for low vision rehabilitation, 65 years and older, living at home, with aged-related macular degeneration as the primary diagnosis and with distance visual acuity of the better eye with best correction not lower than 0.1. A non-parametric statistical method that is developed for paired ordered parametrical data was applied in order to measure the systematic and occasional intra-rater disagreement separately and to measure the responsiveness. CONCLUSION: The test-retest study showed that the ADL-instrument had a high level of test-retest stability, which is a condition for responsiveness. The instrument was found to be responsive. It could therefore detect true longitudinal changes and be used for evaluative purposes targeting elderly with AMD.

- ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The very old (80+) are often described as a "frail" group that is particularly exposed to diseases and functional disability. They are at great risk of losing the ability to manage their activities of daily living independently. A health-promoting intervention programme might prevent or delay dependence in activities of daily life and the development of functional decline. Studies have shown that those who benefit most from a health-promoting and disease-preventive programme are persons with no, or discrete, activity restrictions. The three-armed study "Elderly in the risk zone" is designed to evaluate if multi-dimensional and multi-professional educational senior meetings are more effective than preventive home visits, and if it is possible to prevent or delay deterioration if an intervention is made when the persons are not so frail. In this paper the study design, the intervention and the outcome measures as well as the baseline characteristics of the study participants are presented. METHODS: The study is a randomised three-armed single-blind controlled trial with follow-ups 3 months, 1 and 2 years. The study group should comprise a representative sample of pre-frail 80-year old persons still living at home in two municipalities of Gothenburg. To allow for drop-outs, it was estimated that a total of about 450 persons would need to be included in the study. The participants should live in their ordinary housing and not be dependent on the municipal home help service or care. Further, they should be independent of help from another person in activities of daily living and be cognitively intact, having a score of 25 or higher as assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). DISCUSSION: We believe that the design of the study, the randomisation procedure, outcome measurements and the study protocol meetings should ensure the quality of the study. Furthermore, the multi-dimensionality of the intervention, the involvement of both the professionals and the senior citizens in the planning of the intervention should have the potential to effectively target the heterogeneous needs of the elderly.

Fokusgrupper
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Fokusgrupper kan definieras som grupper där människor möts för att på ett fokuserat sätt diskutera olika aspekter av ett ämne eller ett tema. Fokusgruppsmetoden ger kunskap som är baserad på kollektiva erfarenheter och på den kollektiva förståelse som växer fram i gruppdiskussionerna. Den här boken ger både teoretiska och praktiska perspektiv på fokusgruppsmetoden. I första kapitlet beskrivs de metodologiska kriterier och tillvägagångssätt som metoden kunskapsteoretiskt vilar på. Sedan följer en praktisk genomgång av planering, genomförande och analys av fokusgrupper. Avslutningsvis tar författarna upp metodens styrkor och svagheter.
