Effect of family socio-economic status on subjective well-being among Norwegian adolescents
These findings enhance our understanding of the pathways by which socio-economic status affects adolescent mental health and the factors that may protect against the negative influences of living in socio-economically less advantaged circumstances. From a public mental health perspective with particular focus on reducing inequalities in well-being among adolescents, it appears especially fruitful to support the strengthening of general self-effic…
Social Isolation and the Use of Technology in Caregiving Dyads Living With Dementia During Covid-19 Restrictions
Background: People with dementia (PwD) and their informal caregivers (caregiving dyads) face multiple impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including restricted social support services and social isolation. With limited opportunities for caregiving dyads to participate in social activities during the pandemic, the potential of social technology to support social participation and dyadic relationships should be explored. As a part of an ongoing feasib…
Sustaining Our Relationship
Impaired memory function and challenges in communication affect the ability of people living with dementia to interact with family caregivers socially. The onset of dementia in a family member and the communication challenges that follow can lead to conflict, isolation and loss of closeness in the relationship. I-CARE is a tablet-based technology providing leisure activities specifically designed for people living with dementia to do in tandem wi…
A Cross-European Study of Informal Carers’ Needs in the Context of Caring for Older People, and their Experiences with Professionals Working in Integrated Care Settings
Informal carers need better support in caring for their own health. Health professionals should have regular contact with informal carers and proactively engage them in ongoing needs assessment, setting action plans for addressing their needs, and identifying/accessing appropriate support services. This will be important if informal carers are to continue their caregiving role without adverse effects to themselves
Fostering sense of mastery and independence in daily living among older adults living at home
Introduction: Healthcare services that traditionally have been provided in long-term care institutions in Norway are increasingly being delivered at home to a growing population of older adults with chronic conditions and functional limitations. Promoting sense of mastery and independence in daily living among older adults is therefore key if they are to live safety at home for as long as possible. Objective: As part of a larger project evaluatin…
Different Contexts, Similar Challenges. Sustain’s Experiences with Improving Integrated Care in Europe
Improving Person-Centredness in Integrated Care for Older People
Evaluating activities aimed at promoting person-centredness from both the service providers' and service users' perspectives showed that not all efforts were successful or had the intended consequences for older people. Involvement of older people in designing improvement activities could ensure that care and support reflect their needs and preferences, and build positive experiences of care and support
Supporting Older People to Live Safely at Home – Findings from Thirteen Case Studies on Integrated Care Across Europe
Integrated care services across Europe address older people's safety in many ways. Further integration of health and social care solutions is necessary to enhance older people's perceptions of safety
Effects of introducing a fee for inpatient overstays on the rate of death and readmissions across municipalities in Norway
Effects of introducing a fee for “bed blockers” on adverse events among patients hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, hip fracture and stroke
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
The Sustain Project
SUSTAIN aims to generate evidence on how to improve integrated care, and apply and transfer the knowledge gained to other health and social care systems, and regions. Lessons learned will be brought together in practical tools to inform and support policy-makers and decision-makers, as well as other stakeholders involved in integrated care, to manage and improve care for older people living at home
Remittances and risk of major depressive episode and sadness among new legal immigrants to the United States
The impact of remittances on health problems like depression among immigrants is understudied. Yet immigrants may be particularly emotionally vulnerable to the strains and benefits of providing remittances
Cross-country variation in the sociodemographic factors associated with major depressive episode in Norway, the United Kingdom, Ghana, and Kenya
