Electronic Health Records reshaping the socio-technical practices in Long-Term Care of older persons
2020
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in Long-Term Care (LTC) of older persons are expected to improve resident-centered care by reducing ambiguities in information coordination between LTC workers and organisations. While there are research findings concerning such intended outcomes, we are interested in analysing what sort of other, possibly unanticipated outcomes the use of EHRs in LTC may produce. We argue that the scrutiny of EHRs in LTC requires an understanding of their implementation as socio-technical processes, whereby EHRs are perceived as performative artifacts of LTC rather than technological tools or passive objects. While EHRs have been extensively studied in health-care settings,…
Positive Turn in Elder-Care Workers' Views Toward Telecare Robots.
2022
AbstractRobots have been slowly but steadily introduced to welfare sectors. Our previous observations based on a large-scale survey study on Finnish elder-care workers in 2016 showed that while robots were perceived to be useful in certain telecare tasks, using robots may also prove to be incompatible with the care workers’ personal values. The current study presents the second wave of the survey data from 2020, with the same respondents (N = 190), and shows how these views have changed for the positive, including higher expectations of telecare robotization and decreased concerns over care robots’ compatibility with personal values. In a longitudinal analysis (Phase 1), the positive change…
Psychophysical burden and lack of support : Reasons for care workers’ intentions to leave their work in the Nordic countries
2021
Long-term care of older adults is currently suffering from a shortage of trained personnel and high turnover rates. Care work is poorly paid, demanding, increasingly time-bound and both mentally and physically burdensome. In this study, we examined the individual, organisational and economic factors that predict professional care workers’ intentions to leave their current employment, using the NORDCARE survey data (2015, N = 3801) collected in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The respondents were mainly practical and assistant nurses. The analysis showed that the predictors of intentions to leave were similar in the four countries. The most consistent organisational predictors of leavin…

Vanhus kotona omaishoidon turvin : omaishoidettavan kokemuksia kodista, hoivasta ja rooleista
2013
VANHUS KOTONA OMAISHOIDON TURVIN Omaishoidettavan kokemuksia kodista, hoivasta ja rooleista Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkitaan omaishoitoa omaishoidettavan näkökulmasta ja tarkemmin heidän kokemuksiaan kodista, hoivasta ja rooleista. Tutkimus on tärkeä siksi, että omaishoitajuutta on tutkittu paljon omaishoitajan, mutta ei juurikaan omaishoidettavan näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin teemahaastattelun avulla haastattelemalla seitsemää Alavuden kaupungissa asuvaa omaishoidontuen saajaa. Haastattelut litteroitiin ja analysoitiin aineistolähtöisesti. Tutkimustulosten perusteella voidaan nähdä, että kotona oleminen yhdessä läheisen kanssa on vanhukselle tärkeää. Koti nähdään yhteiselon pai…

Introduction
2022
Digital technologies shape our embodied lives and affect our knowledge of the self and the world. The introductory chapter of the book presents the state of the art in the research on digitalisation of health and social care work, with a focus on care for older people. In ageing societies, understanding what it takes to introduce and use digital technologies can pave the way to a successful, sustainable, and equally accessible system of social care and healthcare provision for older people. The chapter discusses some of the limitations in the present discussion and how the book at hand aims to address these gaps. The chapter proposes that living in an increasingly digitalised world requires…

People with memory illnesses and their spouses as actors in the hybrid care model
2023
Objective: The study analysed how its participants positioned themselves and other people as actors in daily life, and what matters they portrayed as meaningful in seeking and receiving support in daily life. Background: Family care has traditionally played an important role in elder care in Finland. Current policy goals will further increase the importance of family care, yet research on how people with memory illnesses and their spouses perceive care arrangements is scarce. Method: The study drew from theory of relational agency and positioning theory. The data came from semi-structured, in-depth interviews (10) of home-dwelling people diagnosed with a memory illness and their spouses. Th…
