Här finns Stiftelsen Äldrecentrums rapporter, böcker, doktorsavhandlingar, vetenskapliga artiklar, remisser och filmat material. Allt material cirkulerar kring ämnen som rör äldres hälsa, sjukdomar och levnadsvillkor. Här finns även rapporter och publikationer från andra aktörer, i de fall där Stiftelsen Äldrecentrum medverkar.
Rapporter som inte finns i pdf-format kan som regel beställas kostnadsfritt via info@aldrecentrum.se. Man kan även höra av sig till berörd kontaktperson som anges vid respektive rapport.
OBS! Eftersom Stiftelsen Äldrecentrum nyligen har bytt webbsida pågår fortfarande arbetet med att fylla på med gamla rapporter. Kontakta info@aldrecentrum.se om du letar efter en specifik rapport som ännu inte är upplagd.
In old age, many people experience a period of functional decline and require long-term care. Sweden has a universal largely tax-financed health and social care system that is used by all societal groups. However, few studies have investigated if educational groups use publicly paid long-term care equitably.
This study is an in-depth exploration of the unfolding experiences of five persons who developed dementia while still in paid work/employment, and of their significant others.
Proactive conversations about individual preferences between residents, relatives, and staff can support person-centred, value-concordant end-of-life (EOL) care. Nevertheless, prevalence of such conversations is still low in residential care homes (RCHs), often relating to staff’s perceived lack of skills…
Although many people with dementia need progressive support during their last years of life little is known to what extent they use formal long-term care (LTC). This study investigates the use of LTC, including residential care and homecare, in the month preceding death, as well as the number of months spent in residential care, among Swedish older decedents with a dementia diagnosis, compared with those without a dementia diagnosis.
The aim of this study was to describe and compare family members’ experiences of approach in encounters with healthcare professionals within four care contexts. The design was an explorative cross-sectional survey study with data from the Swedish Family Involvement and Alienation Questionnaire-Revised (FIAQ-R).
Call-bells are often taken-for-granted systems to heighten safety. In joint discussions among residential care home (RCH) residents, their family members, and staff, issues related to call-bell use in everyday life and work were repeatedly raised. In this article, we explore these experience-based perspectives, addressing several key questions important for call-bell use and communication…
It is essential to examine to what extent rises in life expectancy (LE) consist of healthy or unhealthy years. We used a multi-domain indicator, complex health problems (CHP), to investigate how LE with and without CHP has developed in Sweden.
Conversations about values for the end-of-life (EoL) between residents, relatives, and staff may allow EoL preparation and enable value-concordant care. In this article, longitudinal qualitative analysis was used to explore changes in staff discussions about EoL conversations throughout workshop series.
Den här studien beskriver och analyserar hur samverkan mellan sjukvården och äldreomsorgen fungerat i Sverige under covid-19 pandemin våren 2020, med fokus hur pandemin har drabbat äldre som bor på särskilda boenden.
Objectives: To map out the total use of long-term care (LTC; ie, home care or institutional care) during the last 2 years of life and to investigate to what extent gender differences in LTC use were explained by cohabitation status and age at death.
