The saviour of the welfare state
This article examines local politicians’ assumptions and perceptions regarding welfare technology for older people and their carers. Carers were discursively constructed as merely part of the older person’s social sphere, in stark contrast to the realities of the caring situations facing many carers. Older people who remain in their homes, maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle, were discursively constructed as ideal citizens. We argue that s…
Putting Staffs’ Beliefs About Values of Mealtime Situations for Long‐Term Care Residents’ Health and Well‐Being Into Practice
In the context of long‐term care facilities, mealtime situations have been linked to residents’ health and well‐being. The optimisation of mealtime situations is dependent on multiple aspects and is complex. To better understand this complexity, this qualitative study aimed to identify staffs’ beliefs about the values of mealtime situations for residents’ health and well‐being and to explore the facilitators of, barriers to, and challenges and ac…
Keeping the older population and their informal carers healthy and independent using digital technology
The general discourse in health and social care policy purports digital technology as necessary to meet growing demands for long-term care and health care as a result of an ageing population. This needs critical investigation since public policy influences people's health and wellbeing. This study aims to interrogate critically what we call the ‘digital technology solution’ discourse in local Swedish health and social care policies. The main conc…
Exploring the knowledge contributions of carers involved in a group process aimed at co-creating a targeted support intervention
Patient and public involvement is a way of ensuring that research and practices are more responsive to their target groups. This study, inspired by discourse psychology, explores the knowledge contributions of informal carers who participated in group meetings to co-create a support intervention. Findings highlight that carers’ knowledge is complex, including more than practical caring experiences. Acknowledging carers’ knowledge contributions an…
Moving beyond the first response phenomenon
Purpose In Sweden, the care of older people and people with disabilities is increasingly carried out by informal carers, often family members, who are unpaid and outside a professional or formal framework. While there is an increasing awareness of the role of carers within service systems and their own needs for support, their involvement in research is underexplored. The purpose of this paper is to explore carers’ views and experiences of involv…
Information and communication technology-mediated support for working carers of older family members
How best to support working carers is being paid increased attention across Europe and internationally. This article examines a largely unexplored area within the empirical literature, namely, information and communication technology-mediated support for working carers of older people. Using an integrative review methodology to draw on both quantitative and qualitative data, 14 studies were identified. Themes included making work–life balance eas…
