- The aim of this study was to examine and characterize an aggregation of experienced occupational therapists´ exam papers with regard to the occupational therapists´ research interests, concerning especially ontological and strategical matters, during the time period 1984-1996. The title pages, summaries and results discussions of 84 papers were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively with the starting point in two of the components from Törnebohm´s structure of paradigms: the world view- and the field of action view-component. The occupational therapists´ interest in research subjects related to the field of action view component of paradigms, and applied research on strategical matters, dominates throughout the material. The interest in research subjects related to the world view component of paradigms, and basic research on ontological matters, increases in the last five year period. The increasing interest in more ontological matters seems as a natural and necessary progress for a profession which is deeply involved in knowledge aquired by experience. Only by the development of a “double-edged” knowledge, the profession has the possibility of developing and adapting to future demands.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since 1992 the local authorities in Sweden have been responsible for the rehabilitation of elderly people living at home. Few studies of this relatively new form of rehabilitation have been reported. The aim of this study was to describe the type of occupational- therapy interventions received by elderly people over the age of 65 living in an urban area. Another aim was to describe the patterns in the performances of 648 elderly people. The study demonstrated that most of the elderly people who received occupational therapy also received home help several times a day. indicating that these elderly people had severe problems in the activities of daily living (ADL) in the area of self-care. Home-making activities and activities outside the home were the most problematic activities. The elderly also wanted to engage in more activities than they were judged to have the capacity for and or the environmental support to do. The implications of the results for community-base, occupational-therapy programs are discussed

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since a psychiatric reform came into effect in Sweden in January 1995, municipalities have been responsible for the care of people with psychiatric illness who are no longer supposed to be in need of continuous medical care. In particular, the responsibility for assistance in independent or supported living and meaningful daily occupations was assigned to the municipalities. This reform implied that, among other professionals, occupational therapists were employed by the municipalities to meet the needs of these individuals. This study compared the view among Swedish psychiatric occupational therapists employed in county councils and municipalities regarding how the care was planned and organized, duties and work tasks, theories and models used, co-operation partners, availability of clinical supervision, quality assurance work and job satisfaction. Most differences found in this study between county council-employed and municipality-employed occupational therapists indicated that the municipalities used their occupational therapists to meet the assignment given by the psychiatric reform, or they were logical consequences of the distinct organizations. However, there was no difference in favour of the municipality group as to use of methods related to housing or vocational occupations. These results indicated that the municipalities did not fully use the qualifications of their occupational therapists to meet the clients’ needs for assistance in independent or supported living and meaningful daily occupations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to describe housing standards, physical environmental barriers in the homes and housing accessibility in relation to elderly people’s subjective general apprehension of their housing situation. By means of a novel instrument for home assessments, the Enabler, a rural population sample of individuals aged 75-84 years was surveyed. The results demonstrated that the respondents lived in houses with high housing standards. However, in every home assessed, physical environmental barriers were found. The environmental barrier that was predicted to cause the heaviest environmental demand of all, in relation to the prevalence of functional limitations and dependence on assistive devices for mobility in the sample investigated, was “Lack of handrails at WChath-tubkhower”. The respondents’ subjective general apprehension of their housing was very positive, and not correlated to housing accessibility. In conclusion, inaccessible housing represents a potential public health problem, since it threatens the activity level of older persons. However, other aspects of housing seem to be more important to the elderly people themselves. Housing accessibility problems are currently overlooked but are important to future public planning concerning housing for the elderly
