  The aim of this article is to explore the “practical” aspects of universalism; why and how they become applicable, and how they shape institutions (and vice versa). Our point of departure is the fact that the in the latter half of the twentieth century, the Scandinavian welfare states may be said to have proven surprisingly robust. Over a substantial period, they continued to expand and became more inclusive, despite the potential undermining effects of a series of global crises which elsewhere stimulated a general tendency of welfare state decay. Possibly due to the widespread assumption that the Scandinavian world is so exceptional, this expansion has not been explained in research. In our discussion, three main points will be highlighted: First, ambitious welfare policies seem to have an extraordinary ability to generate robust mutual commitments, the effects of which feed back to the institutional dynamics that made them possible in the first place. Second, such policies may affect power relationships in ways that, at least sometimes, challenge political and bureaucratic elites’ demands for austerity and managerial control – precisely those demands that tend to initiate re-commodification and de-universalization. Finally, we argue that this dynamic is closely linked to individual autonomy. While highly valued in all welfare states, and indeed basic to democracy, individual autonomy is often curtailed, and even undermined, by bonds of dependency emerging from the need to control bureaucracies – their procedures, their employees, and their clients.

  Objective To evaluate the effect of case management with problem solving therapy (CM-PST) on depression and disability among rural older adults and compare its effect with outcomes derived from a previous, but similar study among 84 urban older adults. Methods This study examined the comparative effectiveness of a CM-PST intervention for older adults with depression and unmet needs across rural and urban settings. Participants received 12 one-hour sessions of CM-PST with a master's-level clinician. A total of 56 rural and 84 urban adults aged 60 and older experiencing mild to moderate depression received services in their homes. Results The rural CM-PST intervention resulted in significantly reduced depression (reduction of 13.9 points, 95% CI 12.2 to 15.7, t(422)= 15.35, p<0.0001) and disability by week 12 (reduction of 6.7 points, 95% CI 4.8 to 8.5, t(425)= 7.01, p<0.0001). Reductions in depression and disability were sustained through week 24. The reductions in depression (F=3.98 df=4,388. p=0.0035) and disability (F=2.71, df=4,381, p=0.03) found in the rural sample were comparable to, or better than, those found in the urban sample. Improvements in unmet need and resilience predicted lower depression scores at 12 weeks, while improvements in unmet need and hopelessness predicted improvements in disability. No moderators of depression were identified, but baseline values of self-efficacy, resilience, and hopelessness moderated disability. Conclusions CM-PST was as effective at reducing depression and disability among rural older adults as it was for urban older adults. Home-delivered CM-PST can be successfully adapted to meet the specific needs of rural seniors using resources often available in rural communities.

  Implementering av velferdsteknologi innen helse- og omsorgstjenestene har gjennom de siste 20 år fått stadig større betydning og oppmerksomhet både som politisk ambisjon, praktisk erfaring og som forskningsfokus. I dette kapittelet gjennomgås sentrale politiske dokumenter vedrørende velferdsteknologi, samt empiriske artikler, hovedsakelig fra en norsk kontekst der eldre hjemmeboende mennesker er målgruppen. Implementering av velferdsteknologi krever stor grad av fleksibilitet, kunnskap og arbeidsinnsats fra de førstelinjeansatte – noe som ofte viser seg å være undervurdert i prosjektplanleggingen. Flere forskere setter også spørsmålstegn ved om teknologien faktisk bidrar til ressurssparing, eller om det skjer en oppgaveforskyvning over på pårørende og ansatte i førstelinjen.

  Introduction: To be next of kin to a home-dwelling person with dementia is known to be a heavy burden, especially early in the process. Studies have revealed a need for information and support during the disease process. Likewise, there is support for the positive impacts of physical and social activities for wellbeing in home-dwelling people with dementia. It is important to obtain experiences from next of kin whose spouses or parents participate in such physical and social activities. Aim: The aim of this study was to elucidate experiences of next of kin to home-dwelling persons in an early stage of dementia who had an opportunity to participate in organized physical and social activities. Method: The study has a qualitative design. Focus group interviews were conducted with ten next of kin to home-dwelling dementia sufferers, who participated in physical and social activities in an activity center. The interview texts were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: In the analysis, two categories emerged: “a break in the everyday” and “being attended and cared about.” Two sub-categories identified in each of the two main categories were: “need of relief” and “meaningful activities;” and “being confirmed” and “sharing experiences and getting advice and help,” respectively. These categories were interpreted in an overall theme: “contentment with adapted activities and group meetings provided with a person-centered approach.” Conclusion: Adapted physical and social activities led by highly qualified personnel can provide a needed relief and support to the next of kin and meaningful activities to the dementia sufferers. However, it is crucial that the personnel provide person-centered care and are able to meet the needs of the dementia sufferers and their next of kin, to help to give them a new everyday life.

  Background: Living alone in urban areas when getting old is an important and necessary field for research as the growth of the urban population worldwide increases, and due to the fact that people live longer. How older people manage their self-care and health, and how this might influence their identity and life situation may be very important to understand when planning for a new, upcoming older generation. The aim of this study was to elucidate the meaning of self-care and health for the perception of life situation and identity among single-living older individuals in urban areas in southern Norway. Methods: A phenomenological–hermeneutic approach inspired by Ricoeur was applied. Nine single-living older persons in urban areas, 70–82 years of age, and identified to be in good health were interviewed. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a phenomenological–hermeneutic method. Results: Strength and a time dimension characterized the meaning of self-care and health for the perception of life situation and identity as narrated by the group of single-living older individuals in urban areas in southern Norway. The informants were, as older individuals, car- ing, autonomous, and robust characters, who had gone through difficult times in life, and in a resilient way moved towards a new future. They valued and were grateful for what they had learned in their lives and could go forward and still experience and explore. Conclusion: Self-care is significant in the perception of life situation and identity among single urban older people in this study, and characterized by strength, temporality, gratitude, autonomy, and natality. Society needs to acknowledge the strengths and capabilities of older people to a greater extent. Keywords: aged, health promotion, phenomenological–hermeneutic method, salutogenesis, time

  Introduction: How to support nutritional self-care among older vulnerable individuals living in their own homes can be considered important knowledge for health care professionals. Aim: The aim of this case study was to evaluate the effects of a nutritional intervention by comparing self-reported perceived health, sense of coherence, self-care ability and nutritional risk in two older home-dwelling individuals before, during and after the intervention and also to describe experiences of nutritional self-care before and after the intervention. Methods: A study circle was established to support nutritional self-care in two older home-dwelling individuals (65+ years of age), who participated in three gatherings, arranged by health professionals, during a period of six months. The effects were evaluated with the instruments the Nutritional Form For the Elderly (NUFFE), the Self-care Ability Scale for the Elderly (SASE), the Appraisal of Self-care Agency (ASA) scale and the Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale and responses on a number of health related questions. Qualitative interviews were performed before and after the intervention to interpret changes that occurred during the intervention. Results: Reduced risk of undernutrition was obtained for both participants. Higher total score on SASE was obtained for one of the participants, and a slightly stronger preference to use the potential for self-care to maintain sufficient food intake and meals appeared. For the other participant, total score on SASE decreased, but SOC was stronger after the intervention. Decreased mobility was experienced, but did not influence the food intake. The study circle was an opportunity to bring in personal views and opinions about food intake and meals. Conclusion: An organized meeting place between older home-dwelling individuals and health care professionals, based upon dialogues, can stimulate the older person’s engagement, consciousness and learning about nutritional self-care, and be of importance to reduce risk of undernutrition. Key words: health, health promotion, intervention, study circle

  Background: Among individuals diagnosed with the chronic neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), a majority suffers from fatigue, which strongly influences their every-day-life. The aim of this study was to investigate work capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a group of MS patients and also to investigate if work capacity and HRQoL could be predicted by background factors, fatigue, heat sensitivity, cognitive dysfunction, emotional distress or degree of disability. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, designed survey was undertaken A questionnaire was sent to 323 individuals diagnosed with MS, aged between 20 and 65 years, with physical disability on the expanded disability status score (EDSS) in the interval 0 ≥ EDSS ≤ 6.5, living in Östergötland county in eastern Sweden. Questions on background factors, occupation and work, together with the health-related quality of life short form instrument (SF-36), the fatigue severity scale (FSS), the perceived deficit questionnaire (PDQ) and the hospital anxiety depression scale (HAD) were posed. Associations between variables were analyzed using Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlations. Differences between groups were tested using the Chi-square test, the Mann Whitney U-test, and the Student’s t-test. Predictive factors were analyzed using multiple linear and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: Of those who completed the questionnaire (n = 257, 79.6%), 59.8% were working. Work capacity was found significantly more among men (p < 0.005), those with a higher level of education (p < 0.001), those reporting less fatigue (p < 0.001), and those having no heat sensitivity (p = 0.004). For work capacity, significant predictors were low physical disability (EDSS), low fatigue, higher level of education, male sex and lower age. Those with work capacity showed significantly higher HRQoL than those who had no work capacity (p < 0.001). Levels of fatigue, cognition and emotional distress were found to be major contributing factors for HRQoL. Conclusions: Work capacity and HRQoL among individuals diagnosed with MS are highly influenced by fatigue which can be considered as a key symptom. Work capacity was influenced by heat-sensitivity, cognitive difficulties and emotional distress and significant predictive factors besides fatigue, were physical disability (EDSS), age, sex, and level of education. Remaining at work also gives a better HRQoL. Keywords: Cognition, Education, Emotional distress, Heat sensitivity, Regression analysis

  Self-care is an activity of mature persons who have developed their abilities to take care of themselves. Individuals can choose to actualise their self-care abilities into self-care activities to maintain, restore or improve health and well-being. It is of importance to understand the meaning of the actualisation of self-care resources among older people. The aim of this study was to investigate the meaning of the actualisation of self-care resources, i.e. actions taken to improve, maintain or restore health and well-being, among a group of older home-dwelling individuals with a high sense of coherence. The design of this study was to reanalyse narratives revealing self-care activities from 11 (five females and six males) Norwegian older home-dwelling people (65 years or older) identified as having a high sense of coherence. In order to reveal the meaning and get an understanding of why these self-care resources were realised or actualised, a Gadamerian-based research method was chosen. The analysis revealed four themes that showed the meaning of actualisation of self-care resources in the study group: “Desire to carry on”, “Be of use to others”, “Self-realisation” and “Confidence to manage in the future”. The findings showed what older people found meaningful to strive for and this information can be used as a guide for health professionals when supporting older people in their self-care. Older people with self-care resources can also be an important resource for others in need of social contact and practical help. These resources have to be asked for in voluntary work among older people in need of help and, thereby, can be a valuable supplement to the community health care system.

  Background: Promoting physical activity is a public health priority in most industrial countries, and physical function is an important factor when taking into consideration older people’s self-care and health. Despite the increasing challenges associated with urbanization and the aging population, urban life appears to be positive in many ways for urban dwellers. However, the manner in which older people live in urban settings and how this influences their ability to take care of themselves should be considered important knowledge for health professionals and politicians to acquire. The aim of this study was to describe the lived experiences of self-care and features that may influence health and self-care among older urban home-dwelling individuals who are physically active. Methods: Ten subjects, three women and seven men, who were aged 65–82 years and identified to be physically active, were interviewed. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed according to the descriptive phenomenological method devised by Giorgi. Results: Our findings showed beneficial self-care. The participants lived active everyday lives and were frequently physically active. They were part of a supportive, inclusive, and promoting fellowship, and they had the opportunity to travel. They utilized their competence and experienced making themselves useful. It was a privilege to be part of a family life as a husband, wife, parent, and/or a grandparent. They acknowledged physical and mental limitations, yet they felt they were in good health. Conclusion: Health professionals and politicians should identify places where fellowship and relationships can be built, as well as encourage older people to use their competence by engagement in volunteering. These interventions are important to support older people’s self-care and health. This may also be a way to reduce ageism in Western societies.

  Introduction: The incidence and prevalence of mental problems among older people are difficult to map because the causes are often complex and the symptoms manifest in a range of ways. Therefore, there is a need for robust and useful instruments for screening mental problems in this group. One instrument used in Norway and around the world is the 30-item version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-30). Nevertheless, studies testing reliability and validity of the Norwegian version are scarce. Aim: The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties, by means of reliability and construct validity, of the Norwegian version of the GHQ-30 in a sample of older people living at home. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. A postal questionnaire including background variables and a range of health related questions, including the GHQ-30, was mailed to 6033 older people (age 65 years or more) who lived in their own homes in southern Norway. A final sample of 2106 persons (34.9%) responded to and returned the questionnaire. Data were analyzed statistically regarding reliability and construct validity of the GHQ-30. Results: The reliability of the instrument, reflecting its homogeneity, was shown in a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.93 and in significant item-to-total correlations. Construct validity was supported as the GHQ-30 demonstrated robustness in separating groups with known mental problems. Construct validity was also demonstrated in a logical four factor solution, which accounted for 50.0% of the variance in the study group. The factor structure supported previous testing studies of the instrument. Conclusion: The GHQ-30 showed satisfactory psychometric properties regarding reliability and construct validity in this study group, which may indicate that the instrument is suitable for use in screening mental problems in older people living at home. Keywords: factor analysis, mental problems, psychological screening, reliability, validity

  Being able to continue living in their own home as long as possible is the general preference for many older people, and this is also in line with the public policy in the Nordic countries. The aim of this study was to elucidate the meaning of self-care and health for perception of life situation and identity among single-living older individuals in rural areas in southern Norway. Eleven older persons with a mean age of 78 years were interviewed and encouraged to narrate their self-care and health experiences. The interviews were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and analysed using a phenomenological hermeneutic method inspired by the philosophy of Ricoeur. The findings are presented as a na ̈ıve reading, an in- ductive structural analysis characterized by two main themes; i.e., ‘‘being able to do’’ and ‘‘being able to be’’, and a comprehensive interpretation. The life situation of the interviewed single-living older individuals in rural areas in southern Norway was interpreted as inevitable, appropriate and meaningful. Their identity was constituted by their freedom and self-chosen actions in their personal contexts. The overall impression was that independence and the ability to control and govern their own life in accordance with needs and preferences were ultimate goals for the study participants. Key words: Activity, adaptedness, freedom, health, independence, self-care actions

  Det er en økende oppmerksomhet, i mange land, om nødvendigheten av å skape nye løsninger og nye modeller for utvikling av lokaldemokrati, stedsutvikling, kultur og velferd. Dette inkluderer blant annet ivaretakelse av FNs 17. bærekrafts mål, der tverrsektorielle samarbeid er skilt ut som et mål i seg selv. Både EU- kommisjonen og Nordisk ministerråd har gitt temaet oppmerksomhet. Vi betrakter de 17 bærekraftsmålene som nødvendige og viktige.

  Denne rapporten inneholder en analyse av asylmottakenes arbeid med vold og over-grep i nære relasjoner. De sentrale spørsmålene i undersøkelsen er om de ansatte i mottak har tilstrekkelig kunnskap og kompetanse om vold og overgrep, hvordan prak-sisen er med å identifisere og følge opp personer utsatt for vold og overgrep, samt hvordan UDI sine retningslinjer fungerer. Gjennomgående viser undersøkelsen at det finnes god kunnskap og kompetanse i mottakene, og langt på vei fungerer også UDI sine retningslinjer som en god veiledning for mottakene. Rapporten kommer likevel med noen anbefalinger. Blant annet innebærer dette å sikre kontinuerlig vedlikehold av mottakenes kunnskap og kompetanse, samt tydeliggjøre og styrke regionkontorene i UDI sin rolle som kompetansestøtte.

  Vi har undersøkt hvordan sykepleierkapasitet kan frigjøres gjennom ny ansvars- og oppgavedeling og bruk av teknologi i kommunale helse- og omsorgstjenester, samt i psykisk helsevern og TSB. Prosjektet består av en kunnskapsoppsummering (48 vitenskapelige artikler og 36 forskningsbaserte dokumenter), og intervjuer med sykepleiere (30 informanter). Resultatene fra kunnskapsoppsummeringen viste at oppgavedeling fra lege til sykepleier omtales mest i internasjonal litteratur. I Norge skjer oppgavedeling i liten grad systematisk og er følgelig lite gjenstand for forskning. Økt oppmerksomhet rettes mot teambaserte tjenestemodeller, og det pågår flere forsøk med tverrfaglige team i Norge med lovende resultater. Internasjonale studier antyder at teamarbeid fortsatt preges av parallelljobbing motivert av delegering av arbeidsbelastning. Bruk av spesialsykepleiere er i vekst, men det er ennå ikke en godt nok definert og kjent rolle. Bruk av ny teknologi krever god utnyttelse og tilpasning til arbeidsprosesser, samt stabil infrastruktur. Intervjustudien viste at ansvars- og oppgavedeling generelt er lite formalisert i sykehjem og hjemmetjenester. Innen psykisk helsevern og TSB oppleves ansvar og oppgaver relevante i større grad. Teamorganisering varierer og kulturbygging kreves. Ny teknologi kan virke tidsbesparende og muliggjør bedre behandling, men en rekke forutsetninger må være til stede for at teknologien skal oppleves nyttig.
