Relying on Trust: A Qualitative Study on Home‐Dwelling Older Adults' Experiences and Preferences With Multimorbidity Management in Municipal Healthcare Assessments
BACKGROUND: Older adults with multimorbidity present a unique challenge to municipal healthcare due to the complexity of managing multiple health conditions simultaneously. Addressing multimorbidity, especially in older adults, requires an integrated, holistic approach focused on person-centred healthcare and patient participation. Multidimensional assessments in municipal healthcare, which consider physical, psychological, and social factors, ar…
Ageing in place or stuck in place: A critical qualitative study on older adults' independence across six municipalities in Norway
The concept of ageing in place (AIP) has garnered substantial international attention, especially with the global rise in the ageing population. Despite extensive research and policy support, the practical complexities of implementing AIP policy, particularly in diverse living situations, places, social contexts and evolving family structures, remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to critically examine the key factors influencing experien…
Preference‐based patient participation in intermediate care: Translation, validation and piloting of the 4Ps in Norway
INTRODUCTION: The implementation and evaluation of patient participation to obtain high-quality transitional care for older people is an international priority. Intermediate care (IC) services are regarded as an important part of the patient's pathway from the specialist to the primary care levels, bridging the gap between the hospital and the home. Patients may experience varying capacities and conditions for patient participation. Yet, few tool…
Social inequality in navigating the healthcare maze: Care trajectories from hospital to home via intermediate care for older people in Norway
Although health inequality is a growing concern, striking differences in health and life expectancy still exist across and within OECD countries. In Oslo, the largest city in Norway, life expectancy differs by up to 7 years between districts. Equal access to healthcare can help reduce social differences in health. However, research indicates that older people at the lower level of the social gradient have more difficulty accessing health services…
Assuring patient participation and care continuity in intermediate care: Getting the most out of family meetings using the four habits model
INTRODUCTION: As a transitional care intervention, intermediate care (IC) bridges the pathway for older patients from hospital to home. Within family meetings in IC, the older patient, his or her relatives, the interdisciplinary team and the municipal case manager come together to discuss goals and interventions during the IC stay, including follow-up services after discharge. Although family meetings are a common aspect of teamwork in IC, it is …
The Dramaturgical Act of Positioning Within Family Meetings: Negotiation of Patients’ Participation in Intermediate Care Services
Family meetings are a cornerstone in intermediate care (IC) and a powerful tool in achieving patient participation. Staff in IC are nevertheless uncertain about how to run these meetings. This study explores the negotiation of patient participation in 14 family meetings by observing the interactions between patients, relatives, and staff. Using Goffman’s dramaturgical theory, supplemented by positioning theory, we illustrate, through four cases, …
Health‐care professionals’ experiences of patient participation among older patients in intermediate care—At the intersection between profession, market and bureaucracy
BACKGROUND: Patient participation is a key concern in health care. Nevertheless, older patients often do not feel involved in their rehabilitation process. Research states that when organizational conditions exert pressure on the work situation, care as a mere technical activity seems to be prioritized by the health-care staff, at the expense of patient involvement. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to explore how health-care professionals ex…
Choice, Voice, and Coproduction in Intermediate Care: Exploring Geriatric Patients' and Their Relatives' Perspectives on Patient Participation
Geriatric patients in intermediate care (IC) often do not feel involved in their rehabilitation process. We conducted interviews with 15 patients and 12 relatives to explore their experiences and preferences regarding patient participation in IC and identify types of patient participation and their potential empowering or disempowering effect. The analysis disclosed a lack of patient choice in a predetermined IC pathway. Being deserving of help m…
