Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper investigates presentations of ethnically profiled nursing homes in Sweden, and in particular what categories these nursing homes target and what problems they are suggested to solve. The findings relate to the construction of older immigrants and to shifting ideas on responsibilities of the Swedish welfare state. Data consisted of 68 articles from newspapers and journals between the period of 1995 and 2015 that were analysed using qualitative methods. Guided by a social constructionist approach focusing on claims-making, two comprehensive ‘problem frames’ were identified: the language and culture frame and the choice of lifestyle frame. The main finding of the paper was that, since about 2007, descriptions of ethnically profiled nursing homes have come to be included in a broader category of profiled nursing homes such as ‘all inclusive’ and ‘hotel-concept’, within a system that focuses on choice based on special needs, lifestyle and interest. The paper concludes that, although this way of framing ethnically profiled nursing homes works against the construction of older immigrants as a problematic category, there is a risk that the emphasis on choice of lifestyle conceals or justifies inequalities based on social class.

Test-retest reliability of the Falls Efficacy Scale International for lower limb prosthesis users
- 2023

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction and ObjectiveFalling and the fear of falling are major issues for people with lower limb amputation. A number of tools have been developed to assess the fear of falling, these include The Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I). As with any tool, it is important that the validity and reliability of the tool is established for specific target populations. The reliability of the FES-I has been established for multiple patients group. A previous study had established good relative reliability in a small sam- ple of lower limb prosthesis users (ICC = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.70-0.94) (Nugent et al. 2022). However, the current project aimed to evaluate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the FES-I for lower limb prosthesis users with a larger sample. The current abstract outlines the assessment of test-retest reliability of the FES-I.Materials and MethodsForty lower limb prosthesis users with varying levels of amputation from Sweden (n=27) and England (n=13) completed an online questionnaire, which included the FES-I, on two separate oc- casions, separated by two weeks. Given the data distribution, Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the test re-test reliability of the FES-I responses between these two occasions.ResultsA strong, positive, statistically significant correlation between the two occasions was indicated (rs (25)=0,902, p=< .001). This suggested that there was excellent test re-test reliability for the FES-I in a group of lower limb prosthesis users.ConclusionsThe FES-I shows excellent test-retest reliability (rs>.8) for lower limb prosthesis users, and re- searchers interested in utilizing this instrument can be confident in the reliability in this specific group. This is useful information, particularly for those involved in longitudinal assessment of falls efficacy.
