Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Findings from international research as well as fromSwedenshow that food distribution as a single intervention involves various professional groups on the various levels in organisation. The present research is one of several Action Research projects initiated as a result of a resolution on the highest political level aiming at achieving improvements within the care and service through collaboration between different levels in the organisations. The overall aim of this specific study is to describe the “top-down” perspective i.e. decision-makers involvement in identifying areas for the development of the food distribution chain. Data was collected in two steps, firstly by individual interviews with decision makers and secondly by group discussions. The group discussions were based on findings from individual interviews and results from two previous studies focused on interviews with various professionals and food distribution recipients. The findings were that food distribution was seen as a multifaceted system that included three interrelated issues: the administration of work, the professional’s competence in nutrition and the relationship between various professional groups. To achieve a change, the central component of complexity needs to be clarified. When the issues are multifaceted the solutions need to regard the whole picture rather than its parts. Keywords: action research, decision-makers, food distribution in Swedish context, “top-down” perspective The short paper and presentation would fit in the key theme Health Care Management of the congress.

Food distribution within a municipality from different perspectives – older people, decision makers and professionals : an action research study
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present research project is one of Action Research (AR) projects in a region in southern part of Sweden, Scania. All the AR projects originate as result of a decision on the highest political level. The decision was to do changes within the care service where collaboration between different care organisations should be advocated in aim to support and help care consumers. The care should be provided in more care consumer centred ways in which care consumers should be in the centre. These changes should emphasise public and care users’ involvement and participation in decisions around the treatment, service development and evaluation. The participatory service should be performed through a constructive dialogue between care users, health care professionals as a catalyst to common practice change. The overall aim of the project was to explore FD to older people living alone in their own homes from different perspectives: elderly as consumers, decision-makers and various professionals. The specific aims were: 1)to explore various professionals’ experiences in relation to their involvement in food distribution in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the organisation, responsibilities and roles in the specific context (“bottom-up” perspective);2) to explore older people’s experiences of food distribution and their suggestions what they whish to change (“bottom-up” perspective); 3) to identify, suggest, implement and evaluate chosen actions issues together with various professionals and elderly people (“bottom-up” perspective); 4) the results from the studies 1-3 will be given as feedback to the decision-makers level and it will be start point for reflective reasoning by using Story Dialogue Method in aim to identify conditions for development of food distribution chain (“top-down” perspective). The short paper and presentation, on how to identify the practical issues involved and what can be done to create a receptive context for change, would fit in the fourth key theme of the congress.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Existing Activities of Daily Living scales were expanded and found to relate to a participation scale and a subjective health scale. Using these scales in nursing care has the potential to correct current bias towards functions and activities by broadening the focus to include the social as well as the physical.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study was performed in accordance with action research approach and included four phases: look, think, act and evaluate.Look phase was performed in the three steps:To gain insight into and describe the experiences of elderly home-living people who receive meals from municipalityTo explore various professional’s experiences of involvement in the food distribution process in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the organization and responsibilities and rolesTo describe decision makers views on the food distribution serviceThink phase was performed in the three steps:To reflect on what was important for the elderly people relating to their receiving meals distributed by the municipalityTo reflect on what the various involved professionals identify as most important to develop in the food distribution chainTo reflect over suggested developmental areas and choose one of them and reflect over how to perform action and evaluationAct phase was performed in two steps:The knowledge in nutrition as developmental area was chosen to focus action onThe way how to develop nutrition knowledge, the information letters, was chosenThe information letters were developed I collaboration with professionals and elderly peopleThe 1700 information letters were distributedThe evaluation phase was performed in three phases:The preliminary outcomes were given as feedback to involved representatives from various professionalsThe finally outcomes were given as feedback to decision makersFinal feedback resulted in three future actionsOutcomes from look and think phase are: The food distribution receivers expressed feelings of: to not have influence over food products the meals were made from, to feel isolated and confined at home due to difficulties getting out of the house and expressed sincere gratitude for the meal service from the municipality.The various professionals expressed that: food distribution is a fragmentary intervention where comprehensive perspective and roles of responsibility are lacking, the fragmented organization seemed strictly divided and limited by constrains regarding time and money, the necessary observations and structured following up of nutrition status for food distribution receivers is missing, and that knowledge in nutrition need to be continuously developed.The decision makers found areas to require facilitation for change related to food distribution: the monitoring of the food distribution receiver’s health and wellbeing, to focus on involved professional’s competence in nutrition and to create a forum for inter-professional communication.
