- Long-term diseases are today the leading cause of mortality worldwide and are estimated to be the leading cause of disability by 2020. Person-centered care (PCC) has been shown to advance concordance between care provider and patient on treatment plans, improve health outcomes and increase patient satisfaction. Yet, despite these and other documented benefits, there are a variety of significant challenges to putting PCC into clinical practice. Although care providers today broadly acknowledge PCC to be an important part of care, in our experience we must establish routines that initiate, integrate, and safeguard PCC in daily clinical practice to ensure that PCC is systematically and consistently practiced, i.e. not just when we feel we have time for it. In this paper, we propose a few simple routines to facilitate and safeguard the transition to PCC. We believe that if conscientiously and systematically applied, they will help to make PCC the focus and mainstay of care in long-term illness.

Mellanbedömarreliabilitet av instrumentet Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT)
- 2011

Ingår i: Poster.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bakgrund: Studier har visat att nedsatt exekutiv funktion är vanligt hos personer som fått stroke. Arbetsterapeuter som arbetar inom akutvården bedömer hur patienten klarar aktiviteter i det dagliga livet, men de flesta instrumenten som används är inom personlig vård. Instrument som bedömer mer komplexa aktiviteter har visat sig vara de mest effektiva avseende att upptäcka nedsatt exekutiv funktion. Eftersom instrumentet Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) kan vara allt för omfattande att göra i den akuta fasen, skulle det kunna vara användbart att ha ett instrument som är mer lätthanterbart i det akuta skedet. Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) är ett bedömningsinstrument som nyligen introducerats i Sverige. Studier saknas avseende validitet och reliabilitet utifrån Svenska förhållande. När ett nytt instrument skall användas är det viktigt att det har god validitet och reliabilitet. Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera innehållsvaliditet och inter-bedömar validitet. Metoden innefattar en “forward” och en “backward” översättning av EFPT och en utvärdering av interbedömar reliabilitet genom att sjutton patienter från en stroke enhet har bedömts av två oberoende arbetsterapeuter. Studien är ett samarbete med kärnsjukhuset i Skövde. Resultatet håller på att analyseras och preliminära resultat kommer att presenteras på AT-forum.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It has been shown that frailty is associated with low levels of wellbeing and life satisfaction. Further exploration is needed, however, to better understand which components constitute life satisfaction for frail older people and how satisfaction is related to other life circumstances. The aim of this study was to examine relationships between frail older people's life satisfaction and their socioeconomic conditions, social networks, and health-related conditions. A cross-sectional study was conducted (n=179). A logistic regression analysis was performed, including life satisfaction as the dependent variable and 12 items as independent variables. Four of the independent variables made statistically significant contributions: financial situation (OR 3.53), social contacts (OR 2.44), risk of depression (OR 2.26), and self rated health (OR 2.79). This study demonstrates that financial situation, self-rated health conditions and social networks are important components for frail older people's life satisfaction. Health and social care professionals and policy makers should consider this knowledge in the care and service for frail older people; and actions that benefit life satisfaction such as social support should be promoted.

Tilltron till den egna förmågan under coronapandemin

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Det finns en inbyggd motsättning mellan tilltron till den egna förmågan i tider av kris, och när det inte är kris. Detta eftersom möjligheten att göra sådant som är vär-defullt i livet kraftigt begränsats under coronapandemin. Kapitlet analyserar i vilken utsträckning allmänheten respektive riskgrupperna har tilltro till sin egen förmåga att klara sig utan allvarliga skador om de skulle smittas av coronaviruset, samt vad som kan förklara en lägre eller högre tilltro. Sammanfattningsvis är tilltron till den egna förmågan hög, men många är också osäkra. Bland riskgruppen äldre och dem med sämre hälsa, är tilltron låg. Detta medan tilltron bland dem med utländsk bakgrund är ganska hög. Tilltron till den egna förmågan kan förklaras av egen erfarenhet från tidigare pandemier, socialt lärande och kognitiv förmåga. Bland sårbarhetsfaktorerna förklarar den fysiska sårbarheten i form av en högre ålder och sämre skattad hälsa mer av den lägre tilltron till den egna förmågan, än den sociala.

- This study was intended to evaluate a multi-professional health-promoting and disease-preventive intervention organized as multi-professional senior group meetings, which addressed home-dwelling, independently living, cognitively intact elderly persons (80±), by exploring the participants’ experiences of the intervention. Method: The focus group methodology was used to interview a total of 20 participants. The informants had participated in four multi-professional senior group meetings at which information about the ageing process and preventive strategies for enhancing health were discussed. Results: The overall finding was that the elderly persons involved in the intervention lived in the present, but that the supportive environment together with learning a preventive approach contributed to the participants’ experiencing the senior meetings as a key to action. Conclusions: Elderly persons who are independent may have difficulty accepting information about preventing risks to health. However, group education with a multi-professional approach may be a successful model for achieving an exchange of knowledge, which may possibly empower the participants, give them role models, the opportunity to learn from each other and a sense of sharing problems with people in similar circumstances.

- Aim: The aim of our study was to explore healthcare and social care professionals’ experiences of preconditions for interorganizational and interprofessional collaboration to support frail elderly patients in discharge planning conferences. Background: At the time for hospital discharge, healthcare and social care professionals have to balance safe care, need for continuity of care, and elderly patients’ own expectations with economical demands. Therefore, collaboration interorganizationally and interprofessionally is essential, since deficiencies are risks to patient safety. Methods: Four focus groups, which consisted of 30 participants—occupational therapists, social workers, physiotherapists, and nurses from hospital, primary care, municipal health, and social welfare—were held. Results: The tacit framing of normative and contextual aspects that influenced discharge conferences’ outcomes, such as around decision-making about post-discharge activities, was identified as a main category in the results, comprised of the following four categories: (1) Different perceptions of prioritizing the elderly patients’ involvement in practice; (2) Choice of method for information transferal affecting collaboration; (3) The limited timeframe affecting assessments and choice of actions; (4) Underlying professional hierarchies. Conclusions: Overall, we found professional hierarchies and organizational administrative demands on efficiency reduced collaboration interorganizationally and between healthcare and social care professionals. Based on our findings, it is our opinion further development is needed both locally at hospitals and at a systemic level in Sweden.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the preconditions of a full-scale implementation of an integrated care process programme for frail older people from the staff's understanding, commitment and ability to change their work procedures with comparisons over time and between organisations.Design/methodology/approachA repeated cross-sectional study was conducted in a hospital, municipal health and social care setting.FindingsStaff commitment decreased to the importance of a permanent municipal contact from baseline compared to the 12-months follow-up (p = 0.02) and the six- and 12-months follow-up (p = 0.05), to the information transfer from emergency department from the six- to the 12-months follow-up (p = 0.04), to discharge planning at the hospital at six- and 12-months follow-up (p = 0.04) and towards discharge planning at home from baseline to the six-month follow-up (p = 0.04). Significant differences occurred between the organisations about information transfer from the emergency department (p = 0.01) and discharge planning at home (p = 0.03). The hospital staff were the most committed.Practical implicationsThe results can guide the implementation of complex interventions in organisations with high-employee turnover and heavy workload.Originality/valueThe study design, allowing the comparison of implementation results over time and between organisations in a later phase, gives this study a unique perspective.

Concurrent validity of the Executive Function Performance Test in people with mild stroke
- 2011
-
Ingår i: The British Journal of Occupational Therapy. - 0308-0226 .- 1477-6006. ; 74:9, s. 443-449

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: Studies have shown that executive dysfunction is common in adults after stroke. Occupational therapists working in acute care assess the performance of activities of daily living; most instruments focus on personal care. However, the assessment of instrumental activities of daily living has been shown to discriminate executive dysfunction more effectively. An instrument for assessing executive dysfunction in more complex activities that is easy to handle in acute care is consequently required for clinical use. The Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) was recently introduced into Sweden. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the EFPT in acute care for patients with mild stroke. Method: Twenty-three patients from an acute stroke unit were assessed with both the EFPT and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS). Results: The correlation between the EFPT and the AMPS assessments was highly significant (p = 0.003) and the concurrent validity was rho = 0.61. Conclusion: Since there is a risk that adult patients with mild stroke are discharged without rehabilitation, and there is a lack of a relevant instrument for occupational therapists that discriminates executive dysfunction in acute stroke care, the EFPT may be a suitable instrument to use with these patients.
