Good care and adverse effects: Exploring the use of social alarms in care for older people in Sweden
In Nordic countries, 'welfare technology' is a concept used increasingly by policymakers when discussing the promise of digitalisation in care for older people. In this paper, I draw on data from 14 qualitative ethnographic interviews with employees in municipal eldercare in Sweden, as well as observations carried out at a nursing home, to suggest the importance of studying how good care is enacted through welfare technology, whilst simultaneousl…
Engaging with Hard‐To‐Reach Clients: Towards the Last Resort Response by Welfare Workers
Client non‐cooperation is a widely recognised problem in welfare services. Being ‘hard‐to‐reach’ is considered a risk especially for the most vulnerable clients, for example in terms of increased homelessness. Such clients pose challenges to social inclusion, and services make some allowances to achieve engagement. However, even a minimum level of cooperation is required from hard‐to‐reach clients. In the context of home visiting, we study welfar…
Standard tools for non-standard care: The values and scripts of a person-centred assessment protocol
This article uses a material semiotic perspective to study a highly influential model of healthcare policy and practice today: person-centred care. While person-centred care is often regarded as implying a turn away from technology and standardization towards more humanistic values in care, this article shows that mundane standardization technologies, such as an assessment protocol, are integral components of person-centred care. Building on inte…
Doing data together - affective relations and mobile ethnography in home visits
This article is concerned with the doing and production of data. We ask how data are made in intimate spaces such as the home in collaboration with the different parties involved in home-based care and services. The article builds on ethnographic field notes from 73 home visits, in the context of home-based mental health, substance abuse and social care for adults in Finland and Sweden. Drawing on affect theory, the article aims to foreground asp…
Observing and Commenting on Clients’ Home Environments in Mobile Support Home Visit Interactions: Institutional Gaze, Normalization and Face-work
The study contributes to discursive and interactional housing and home studies by analysing home visit conversations with clients who need support with their housing and living in the community. It focuses on the ways in which professionals comment on clients’ home environments. The data, which consist of 20 audio-recorded home visits in Mobile Support directed at mental health and substance abuse rehabilitees, are analysed by applying the Foucau…
Doing good: Autonomy in the Margins of Welfare
The welfare systems in the global North has seen changes in professional care delivery systems in the margins of welfare, from care in large treatment institutions, to community care and, more recently, to care taking place in home spaces. Care and support are increasingly provided in the home of the service user through floating support and home visits. Drawing on empirical ethics, we aim to inquire into modes of doing good care during professio…
'It is not a pill': Uncertainties and promises in the entanglements of qualitative and quantitative medical research
Person-centered care seeks to improve health care by recognizing the individual patient’s unique experience and by acknowledging the patient as an active and responsible participant in their own care. It is also conceptualized as a reaction to evidence-based medicine, opposing its alleged reductionist and exclusionary tendencies. Therefore, person-centered care is often conceived as different from evidence-based medicine, taking into account the …
Tenacious assumptions of person-centred care? Exploring tensions and variations in practice
In recent decades, the ‘tenacious assumptions’ of biomedicine regarding the neutrality and universality of its knowledge claims have been significantly challenged by the growth of new collaborative and patient-focused models of Healthcare delivery. In this article, we discuss and critically reflect upon one such alternative Healthcare model developed at the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care in Sweden. This centre uses three …
Elaboration of the Gothenburg model of person‐centred care
BACKGROUND: Person-centred care (PCC) is increasingly advocated as a new way of delivering health care, but there is little evidence that it is widely practised. The University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) was set up in 2010 to develop and implement person-centred care in clinical practice on the basis of three routines. These routines are based on eliciting the patient's narrative to initiate a partnership; working the par…
Visible persons, invisible work: Exploring articulation work in the implementation of person-centred care on a hospital ward
Visible persons, invisible work? Exploring articulation work in the implementation of person-centred care on a hospital wardRecently, many initiatives promoting a holistic view of the patient have been developed. In the last 20 years, different models and frameworks have been advanced to operationalize these different forms of holistic care. This article focuses on one specific case of holistic person-centred care, using the sociological theories…
