Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A growing number of old citizens and fewer working to support them is a reality in Sweden. More knowledge about assisted living facilities is crucial in creating appropriate care environments for the oldest. The study is part of a PhD project that explores use and usability in assisted living facilities for the old in Gothenburg, Sweden. This paper reports upon the observation study conducted November 2009-February 2010 in five facilities in Gothenburg, along with the other methods used in the PhD project. The aim of this study is to observe the daily use and thereby identify factors in the physical environment, affecting usability. Some preliminary findings are accounted for. Semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey are scheduled for 2011-2012. The city of Gothenburg and Chalmers finance the project and are the primary users of the results.

- Vårdmiljöforskning genomgår en expansiv utveckling och är i fokus inom vård och arkitektur. Denna bok gör något så ovanligt som att omfatta bägge perspektiven i beaktandet av såväl de fysiska som psykosociala aspekterna av vårdmiljön. Den röda tråden genom boken är att se vårdmiljön som en central del i vårdandet och behandlingen, oavsett om det handlar om intensivvårdens högteknologiska miljöer, den psykiatriska slutenvården eller skapandet av hemkänsla inom äldrevårdens särskilda boenden.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: This exploratory study examines the function and use of common spaces in assisted living facilities (ALFs) from the residential and workplace perspectives.BACKGROUND: The impact of the physical environment on human activities in healthcare settings has been emphasized in many studies. Few studies, however, have explored the daily use of common spaces and theimpact on the usability of ALFs.METHODS: Four explorative methods–observation, group interviews, individual interviews, and questionnaires—were used to investigate 14 ALFs in Sweden. The study involves residents, staff, relatives, architects, and people responsible for planning and construction of eldercare.This research strategy combines quantitative and qualitative methods to enhance the validity of the results. Method triangulation and data triangulationwere used and the data were analyzed using Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA).RESULTS: The results show that residents and staff have different objectives for use and these differences affect usability, although explicit conflicts are rare. The residents, staff, and other stakeholders have differentviews about the demarcation of home and workplace and the role of common spaces as venues for social interaction.CONCLUSIONS: Both the residential and the workplace perspective must be considered when planning assisted living facilities. Otherwise, inherent conflicts between these perspectives will manifest as a result of thephysical design. Common spaces have diverse functions that are reflected in their spatial organization. Therefore, ALFs should be designed so the intended function of a specific space is apparent to all users.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to map significant features of the physical design of nine recently planned facilities for forensic psychiatric care in Sweden. The present paper is focused on differences in the physical design, static security adaptations, visions and goals for the projects, economy and steering processes. Design/methodology/approach – In June 2008, records concerning major forensic psychiatric construction projects, planned or carried out between 1970 and 2008, were requested from all 21 regions in Sweden. The documents were collected, organized, critically examined, and analyzed in their contexts. Extensive data have also been retrieved from the internet. Findings – In spite of the common national legislation governing forensic psychiatric care, the projects show great diversity in the physical design and, after 2006, increasing emphasis on static security. The collected material indicates different visions and goals and little coordination between them. It also suggests that the decisions rarely have been preceded by scientific studies or, as it appears, systematic needs assessments. There were also considerable variations in the interpretation of the legislation stipulating public access to official documentation and the time-frame allowed for such requests. Research limitations/implications – Limitations of the project especially relate to the incompleteness of the documents received. Originality/value – This mainly descriptive paper provides an overview of contemporary Swedish forensic psychiatric construction projects, planned for or realized after 2000. This paper points out structural and physical differences between these projects. The systematised documents are made available for research purposes within different disciplines.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This participant observation study was conducted November 2009-February 2010 in 14 units in five assistantliving facilities for the old in Gothenburg, Sweden. The aim is to study the daily use and aspects of use, related tothe design of the physical environments. Areas of interest, based upon these aspects and related to usability, arepresented and discussed in this paper. The study is the first part of a case study, within a PhD-project, comprisingparticipant observations and qualitative interviews. More knowledge about assisted living facilities is asked forboth by the eldercare providers and by the construction clients in order to enable appropriate care environmentsfor the oldest. This knowledge is now produced in the architecture academies. The City of Gothenburg andChalmers jointly finance the project and are the primary users of the project results. This paper presents anddiscusses some preliminary findings and gives a short description of methods and the research field.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores how common spaces in assisted living schemes for older persons are used by the residents. Observation studies, group interviews with staff and individual interviews with residents, relatives, architects and key stakeholders in the context of Swedish elder-care were conducted. Common spaces are the major location for in-house social interaction on the units. The results show a higher presenceon the dementia units, compared to the somatic units. No significant correlation was found between the residents’ mobility limitations and their degree of presence in the common spaces. The results also suggest a contradiction between the staff’s intentions to provide a social context and the capabilities of the residents. Although common spaces are not used much between meals, the residents stress their importance for social interaction, suggesting that common spaces have important qualitative aspects, rather than quantitative. The results also how that few of the residents used the common spaces together with their relatives. The increasing use of assistive technology creates a shortage of space, suggesting a conflict between the efforts to create a home-like environment and the use of assistive technology.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To meet the demographic development, measures were initiated by the Swedish government entailing changed conditions for municipal eldercare, such as assisted living. Participant observation is used to study the daily use of common spaces in 14 assisted living units in Gothenburg. The results show examples where the currentuse diverges from the intended use and suggest diverging objectives and conflicts of use. The observations indicate that the degree of usability is determined by the physical environment itself in some cases, by the users and by changes in use in other cases, and by a combination of both in some cases.

Injury events in residential areas – risk groups and etiological factors for falling, cutting and poisoning
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Injury Prevention. - : BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. - 1353-8047 .- 1475-5785.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Injury events in homes constitute a major social problem. Falling, cutting and poisoning make up 85 per cent of all injury events in residential areas.This study is based on a unique data set that includes several million cases of falling, cutting and poisoning in Sweden during the period 1990-2013 which lead to either to death, hospitalisation or to a visit to a health care provider, and a control group randomly selected from the population.Three riskgroups are given special attention in the analysis: (1) old people, (2) children, (3) persons with disabilities and or long term illnesses.Methods: Multilevel regression analysis and geographical information systems, GIS.Results: The results show the probability for each riskgroup to be exposed to each type of injury event, and how this probability varies with place (GIS), previous exposure, type of household, socioeconomic status and type of housing.Conclusions: The project is ongoing. Our cross-sectorial group has demonstrated the importance of injury epidemiology as a guiding principle in architectural design, particularly for high-risk groups.

An audit of the content and quality in briefs for Swedish healthcare spaces
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Journal of Facilities Management. - : Emerald. - 1741-0983 .- 1472-5967. ; 7:3, s. 198-211
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: Initial briefs (programs) were examined in order to obtain an overview of current practice in documenting the briefing process for new health care buildings in Sweden. Methodology: An audit instrument was developed and used to examine briefs for the content and quality of information and to determine whether and to what extent the information was comprehensive and patient oriented. Findings: The results indicate that few strategic briefs make use of evidence to support their statements. Moreover, few briefs had an explicitly patient-focused goal for the project or measurable outcomes. Implication for practice: This new audit approach can be applied in various organisations and over time to improve the briefing process and create clearer goals and guidelines. Originality/value: The present study contributes with an audit of written briefs. The question of whether the use of briefing and a systematic brief make a significant contribution to the high quality of design solutions remains unanswered, as is also the case of whether the brief, in general, reflects the briefing process. Despite the recent focus on improving the quality of the briefing process, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the documentation resulting from the briefing process. Studies are needed that employ different approaches in order to accept or reject the assumption that the briefs are an accurate reflection of the briefing process.

Designing patient-centered healthcare spaces
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The architecture can promote patients health. Accessibility, safety and care quality can be built into the design of healthcare environments. The current planning process has been criticized to be guided by technical solutions rather than the users’ needs and a lack of correspondence between the goal of the organization and the planning process. We used the system dynamics (SD) modeling method to facilitate the pre-planning process (before architectural design details are presented) of new healthcare environments. SD is an interactive computer-based method that is suitable for use with a group-modeling approach with a focus on learning, which is facilitated through the construction of simple models of the system that help the user to experiment with and study the behavior of these models. The aim of using SD was to strengthen the understanding of the healthcare organization and its care processes, enhance the integration of scientific knowledge related to care processes and architecture. A case study design was used in five different healthcare settings. The participants built the model in collaboration through a reflective and iterative process of learning about their organization/system to contribute to the planning process. The preliminary results show that we succeeded in turning the discussions toward the work and related care processes as a basis for further planning of the building.

upporting pre-planning design phases of new dementia care environments through group-modeling
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Operations Research Society, OR54.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Problem and rationale The pre-design phase, before architectural design details are presented is important for the success of the entire construction process. In this phase, it is important to identify the needs of the users and the organization. The present project describes a group-modeling project with system dynamics (SD) in the pre-design phase of a new dementia care environment. The aim was to support a dynamic design process that was oriented towards the users needs. SD uses models to create scenarios and experiment with different solutions to understand complex problems. The method is interactive and suited for group- modeling. The tools used are a construction of a diagram depicting the system and a mathematical model for scenario experiments. Methods and procedureThe group- modeling was performed during five workshops with stakeholders from the organization. The data for the model was collected through discussions with the modeling group, a questionnaire, literature reviews and documents. The process was documented by video-recording and field notes. The participants were interviewed at the end of the project. The data was analyzed by content analysis. ResultsResult show that the modeling process supported the group to explicitly express their goal regarding care. The modeling process moved the group discussions from space solutions and square meters to the goals of the care process. The model developed illustrates a modern perspective of dementia care. Conclusions Group-modeling using SD is interesting for the pre-design process. It can be feasible for linking strategic planning of the organization with the plan over the new healthcare environment since it moves the participants in the pre-design phase to focus on important issues about the care and away from a wish list of various needed spaces, commonly achieved in traditional planning processes.

Using of Group-Modeling in Predesign Phase of New Healthcare Environments: Stakeholders Experiences
- 2016
-
Ingår i: HERD. - : SAGE Publications. - 2167-5112 .- 1937-5867. ; 9:2, s. 69-81
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Current research shows a relationship between healthcare architecture and patient-related outcomes. The planning and designing of new healthcare environments is a complex process. The needs of the various end users of the environment must be considered, including the patients, the patients' significant others, and the staff. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of healthcare professionals participating in group modeling utilizing system dynamics in the predesign phase of new healthcare environments. We engaged healthcare professionals in a series of workshops using system dynamics to discuss the planning of healthcare environments in the beginning of a construction and then interviewed them about their experience. Methods: An explorative and qualitative design was used to describe participants' experiences of participating in the group-modeling projects. Participants (N = 20) were recruited from a larger intervention study using group modeling and system dynamics in planning and designing projects. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results: Two themes were formed, representing the experiences in the group-modeling process: Participation in the group modeling generated knowledge and was empowering and Participation in the group modeling differed from what was expected and required the dedication of time and skills. Conclusions: The method can support participants in design teams to focus more on their healthcare organization, their care activities, and their aims rather than focusing on detailed layout solutions. This clarification is important when decisions about the design are discussed and prepared and will most likely lead to greater readiness for future building process.

Integrative Ways of Residing Health and Quality of Residence. A Concerted Trans-Disciplinary Research Effort - AIDAH ‘14-‘18. Architectural Inventions for Dwelling, Ageing and Healthcare
- 2014
-
Ingår i: International Conference ARCH 14 on Research on Health Care Architecture, Helsinki Aalto University 19-21 Nov 2014.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The original AIDAH environment intends to generate cross-disciplinary research and implementation projects for a sustainable built environment that confront three major challenges. (1) Increasingly diverse demands on the housing market call for flexibility and adaptability in resilient ways. (2) An ageing society requires new residential models that combine dignity and appropriate care but also provide good working environments for personnel. (3) Profound changes in technical conditions for caring and medical treatment necessitate rethinking traditional healthcare situations, developing new situations ranging from complex care in residence to intensive care units in hospital and patient hotels. Sustainability issues at stake in patterns of residential behaviour must be considered to have paramount importance in any strategy for a resilient urban future. The involved teams provide different and complementary perspectives focusing on the common notion of quality of residence considered in architectural, spatial and experiential properties of built environments for housing and healthcare contexts. The applied conceptual and theoretical framework focuses on architectural and caring innovations for reconfigured spatial situations that enhance sustainable caring, and improve health, welfare, and living quality. Our research effort will focus on identifying and characterizing strategies directed towards the integration of different ways of residing. The scientific integration in conceptual and methodological terms between architecture qualitative research, sociology of residence, and caring sciences is intended to bridge gaps and initiate cross disciplinary approaches. Objectives include identifying and articulating new resilient qualities in designs supporting care processes and healing environments, thereby providing new operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with diverse stakeholders. International exchanges will provide further strategic evidence-based design support for decision makers in planning, building and healthcare services. The cross-disciplinary teams of researchers from architectural design, social and caring sciences are based at the Centre for Healthcare Architecture and the CIB W069 Residential Studies, both hosted by Chalmers.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities confronts urgent architectural design challenges within residential innovation, ageing communities and healthcare environments. The increasing and diversified demands on the housing market today call for alterability and adaptability in long term solutions for new integrated ways of residing. Meanwhile, an accentuated ageing society requires new residential ways of living, combining dignity, independence and appropriate care. Concurrently, profound changes in technical conditions for home healthcare require rethinking healing environments. This edited collection explores the dynamics between these integrated architectural and caring developments and intends to envision reconfigured environmental design patterns that can significantly enhance new forms of welfare and ultimately, an improved quality of life. This book identifies, presents, and articulates new qualities in designs, in caring processes, and healing atmospheres, thereby providing operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with academics, actors and stakeholders in architecture, design, and healthcare. This is an ideal read for those interested in health promotive situations of dwelling, ageing and caring.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a pilot study on the process of providing premises and its result in means of meeting the clients´ expectations. The pilot study is part of a larger study investigating the efficiency in processes of providing facilities in the healthcare sector. The outset for the larger study is that a common opinion among representatives of core business and corporate real estate is that the finished projects do not meet expectations regarding usability and function for core business. A small number of Swedish public real estate companies have been transformed into service organizations. .A discussion whether to use a real estate organizational form or a service organization is rooted in the increased demands of achieving efficient and usable buildings satisfying the users needs. Two main questions were set up in this pilot study: i) In which ways does the organization form or structures impact the process of providing premises? and ii) How does the way of organization impact the individuals possibilities to act in the process of providing premises? The purpose of the study presented is thus to analyse the role of the organizational form and the individuals possibilities to act in the process of providing premises in terms of how they achieve fulfilment of expectations regarding usability for the healthcare core business. Tentative results in this paper based on the pilot study are that results from a project by means of meeting the clients´ expectations, quite contrary to an early assumption, do not depend on the organizational form or structure in the providing organization. The study is based on interviews and the result shows that all of the interviewed actors mean that the form of the organization has little direct impact on the result of the process of providing premises; it is how the actor views their work tasks that make the difference for the result. On the other hand, these views depend on the fundamental values in the organization.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Klokboken för seniorbostäder syftar till att sprida kunskaper om sånt som är värt att tänka på för alla som planerar bostäder för seniorer i det vanliga bostadsbeståndet, framför allt lägenheter i flerbostadshus. Med Klokboken vill vi inspirera, bredda kunskaperna och bidra till mer kunskapsbaserade beslutsunderlag. Den är tänkt att underlätta för byggherrar, arkitekter, planerare, beslutsfattare med flera som vill skapa bostäder för seniorer. Vi tror att det finns ett behov av Klokboken för seniorbostäder, för att det idag saknas en samlad plats med kunskaper i detta tema. Klokboken för seniorbostäder har kommit till som ett resultat av ett forsknings-och utvecklingsprojekt på Chalmers tekniska högskola och Göteborgsregionen – DIABAHS (Dialog Bygg Hållbart för Seniorer) . Projektet finansierades av Formas, CMB, Mistra Urban Futures, Göteborgs Stad och många fler aktörer (se DIABAHS).

Ingår i: Facilities. - 0263-2772. ; 38:374, s. 218-234
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find out what knowledge and experience of occupational therapists, personal assistants and public health nurses/nurses in Sweden can contribute concerning the vulnerability of residents to injury in different residential care-settings. Design/methodology/approach – This study is based on a online survey. A total of 832 individuals responded to the survey. The data was analysed from a mixed-method approach, using descriptive statistics, correlations and textual-analysis. Findings –More than one in four representatives of these professions had witnessed accidents. The results show that bedrooms and bathrooms are the rooms in which accidents are most likely to occur in homes. Research limitations/implications – One limitation of the study is that the impact of educational initiatives on the different professions was not investigated, so it is not possible to ascertain what effect this may have had on risk identification and accident prevention measures in residential care-settings. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no prior study of these issues has been conducted. This study is deemed to have significant social benefit because of the steadily increasing need for care in residential settings. No other study has addressed the importance of the physical environment in this context. Collaborations involving researchers from various disciplines, professional organizations and public and private sector employers involved in personal assistance have contributed specific knowledge.

- Hem- och boendemiljöer för brukare kan innebära avsevärda risker för dem att drabbas av skadehändelser. Det är sedan tidigare känt att många äldre personer drabbas av fallskador i sina hem. Däremot är tidigare forskning begränsad när det handlar om att visa på vilka erfarenheter som olika professioner har av brukares risker och skadeutsatthet i bostäderna. Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat stress och utsatthet hos distriktssköterskor. Denna studie beskriver de erfarenheter och kännedom som distriktssköterskor och sjuksköterskor inom hemsjukvården har av detta.

- Skadehändelser som inträffar i hem- och boendemiljöer är ett utbrett fenomen i vårt samhälle och drabbar alla åldersgrupper. Med nya utmaningar i vår samtid, som en åldrande befolkning och förändringar i människors delaktighet och aktiveringsgrad, ställs annorlunda krav på såväl bostadens utformning som på det skadeförebyggande arbetet. Forskningsprojektet ArchSafe har haft som övergripande syfte att särskilt undersöka vilka grupper som löper den största risken att skadas av fall, skärning och förgiftning samt att undersöka i vilka typer av situationer som risken för dessa typer av skadehändelser kan anses som extra stor. Forskningsprojektet består av olika delstudier som tillsammans bildar en helhet. Projektet har fokuserat på tre områden 1) Risker och riskgrupper i samhället, 2) Skadehändelsernas förlopp, innebörd och konsekvens, 3) Hinder och möjligheter för mer säkra hem- och boendemiljöer genom skadeförebyggande arbete. Skadehändelser varierar i olika rum/platser. Vanligast är att man skadar sig i bostadsrum och sovrum, 35 procent av skadorna i hem- och boendemiljöer inträffar här. Olika åldersgrupper har olika skadepanorama i hemmet, men bostadsrum och sovrum är den vanligaste skadeplatser oavsett ålder. För barn och ungdomar (0-19 år), som har högre risk än vuxna och medelålders personer, sker näst flest skador i trädgården (22%). För den andra riskgruppen, de äldre, är vård- och omsorgsboende den näst vanligaste skadeplatsen (34% för gruppen 80+). Inom området unga/ungdomar har en avhandling inom projektet visat hur byggd miljö såväl påverkar som har möjlighet att förhindra uppkomst av skadehändelser. Tre områden har undersökts: oavsiktliga skador i bostaden, våldet i skolorna samt suicidplatser. De riskmiljöer som identifierats är entréer, trapphus, gårdar samt gångvägar.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sammanfattningsvis kan man säga att dennakorta studie visar att en intressant utveckling ärpå gång i Göteborg vad gäller utvecklandet avtrygghetsboende för äldre. År 2010 visade studienVem ska värna om tillgängligheten? (Lindahl,Martini, Malmqvist 2010) att det i stort settsaknas incitament för att skapa bättre boendeför äldre. Ofta finns kunskaper om vad sombehöver åtgärdas, men ändå satsas inte mycketpå att förbättra det befintliga bostadsbeståndet. De faktorer i boendet som mest engagerar äldrehyresgäster är hyran, trivseln och tryggheten.Fysisk tillgänglighet engagerar först när mandrabbas av sjukdom eller liknande. Äldrehyresgäster vill inte vara till besvär och därför nåsinte fastighetsägaren av information om bristeri tillgänglighet eller användbarhet. Mycket merbehöver förbättras för att önskade effekter skauppnås i kommunen när det gäller boende förseniorer och förbättrad tillgänglighet. Det som nugörs inom bostadsföretag som Poseidon visar atten mycket positiv förändring är på gång.Denna studie pekar på några avframgångsfaktorerna när det gäller utvecklingav det befintliga bostadsbeståndet till att bättrepassa för äldre hyresgäster: Att man startarutvecklingen i stadsdelar eller bostadsområdendär goda fysiska och sociala förutsättningar finns,att bostadsföretag och äldreomsorgen samarbetar,att utvecklingsarbetet är förankrat ändå upp ibostadsföretagets ledning, inte minst, att manfinner en projektledare som har stort engagemangför att förbättra för äldre hyresgäster.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Private homes for the elderly are becoming, more and more, the working environment for staff in homecare and home healthcare. The benefits of care in, or in the vicinity of, people’s homes are apparent: reduced personnel sick leave, patient concern, healthcare costs and ultimately improved health. For this combination of activities to work well, housing and residential areas are required to be adapted to the demands of care services. What happens to the housing of the elderly when apartments become working environments? And how is the situation experienced by the healthier spouse in the household? These questions are complex and require cooperation between several different professional skills. This chapter focuses on the role of the built environment in these new situations of caring. How can architects re-think new buildings? Experiences are presented partly from an ongoing study where observations are made in the real care situation in the homes of older people. In this project, researchers from different disciplines collaborated on observations, interviews and literature reviews. Experiences are also collected from ten years of commitment to a master’s studio education project dedicated to the design of housing for the elderly and making proposals for new long-term future solutions for healthcare at home.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In many European countries, elderly persons will stay in their own homes as long as possible. This fact puts ordinary housing-areas under special constrains. The challenge of a rapidly increasing aging population calls for collaboration and new ways to organize and use built space. The aim of this project is to find, design and discuss solutions within built areas of housing, when homes also are workplaces. This project is in an early phase why main results not yet exist. Method in this qualitative research is use of multiple tactics: Interviews, Questionnaire survey, Observations and evaluations of authentic processes of changes as well as of Design-projects made by master-students.
