Psychometric Evaluation of the Patient‐Experienced Continuity of Care Questionnaire (Pecq) Using Rasch Model
BACKGROUND: The Patient-Experienced Continuity of care Questionnaire (PECQ) was developed to measure continuity of care (CoC) in primary care, but has only been evaluated in accordance with classical test theory, which has some weaknesses compared with modern test theory. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the measurement properties of the PECQ using the Rasch model. METHOD: Data for this psychometric study were collected using questionna…
Charting the Course Together: Municipal Top-Level Managers’ Perspectives on Fostering Safe and Integrated Care for Older Adults Living at Home
Top-level managers see themselves as parts of a larger system that requires them to collaborate with others. Empowering middle managers and nursing staff to thrive in their roles, through leadership based on trust, promotes a unified effort toward the common goal of safe and integrated care for older adults with complex care needs
Perceptions of General Attitudes towards Older Adults in Society: Is There a Link between Perceived Life Satisfaction, Self-Compassion, and Health-Related Quality of Life
Negative attitudes towards aging are common in society. However, few studies have investigated how older adults perceive this phenomenon. This study investigated (a) how older adults in Sweden perceive general attitudes towards the older population and whether negative perceptions are associated with low life satisfaction, self-compassion, and health-related quality of life (HRQL), and (b) whether perceived attitudes predict life satisfaction whe…
The meaning of sedentary behavior among older adults: A phenomenological hermeneutic study
Being sedentary means having a lack of physical activity and social interactions, resulting in wanting to be more physically active than sometimes possible. Clinical practitioners should bear in mind that becoming more sedentary is inevitable with an ageing body, but that older adults may have an innate desire to be as physically active as possible. A lifelong exposure to physical activity, the possibility of well-being found in sedentary activit…

Befriending Everyday Life When Bringing Technology Into the Private Sphere
We present the findings of our phenomenological interview study concerning the meaning of being an autonomous person while dependent on advanced medical technology at home. This was elucidated in the participants' narratives as befriending everyday life when bringing technology into the private sphere. We discovered four constituents of the phenomenon: befriending the lived body, depending on good relationships, keeping the home as a private sphe…
Horizontal and vertical target efficiency – a comparison between users and non-users of public long-term care in Sweden
The extent to which a system of services is in tune with the needs of the population can be expressed in terms of target efficiency, which includes horizontal target efficiency – the extent to which those deemed to need a service receive it – and vertical target efficiency – the corresponding extent to which those who receive a service actually need it. Vertical efficiency can be measured by looking only at those receiving services. To measure ho…
Home care in Europe: A systematic literature review
Factors related to frequent usage of the primary healthcare services in old age: Findings from The Swedish National Study on Aging and Care
People aged 60 or more are the most frequent users of healthcare services. In this age range, however, both frequent and infrequent users can be found. Frequent users have high rates of illnesses. Previous research has found that the frequency may be influenced also by psychological and social factors. The aim of this study was to investigate to what degree such factors add to the explanation of differences in number of visits to a physician. A c…
Reliability and Validity of the Older Americans Resources and Services (Oars) Social Resources Scale in Six European Countries
Differences across countries make it unlikely that researchers can develop a single social resources scale that would have item equivalence in multiple countries
