Support for the elderly with mental illness : A qualitative interview study about unit manager’s experiences with support for elderly with mental illness (English)
Abstract [sv]

Psykisk ohälsa bland äldre har ökat i samhället och är ett relativt outforskat ämne. Cirka 22 % av populationen som led av psykisk ohälsa eller beteendestörningar under 2019 var del av Sveriges äldre befolkning. Detta resulterar i ett ökat behov av stöd till äldre med psykisk ohälsa. Den här studien kommer genom en kvalitativ ansats samt semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio enhetschefer inom äldreomsorgen, utforska stödet samt alternativa utvecklingsbehov för äldre med psykisk ohälsa. Syftet med studien är att beskriva enhetschefers inom äldreomsorgens erfarenheter av stödet erbjudet av statliga verksamheter som finns för äldre personer med psykisk ohälsa. Studiens resultat påvisar en brist av kompetens kring äldre med psykisk ohälsa. Sammanfattningsvis framkom det i slutsatsen att bättre samverkan mellan verksamheterna och en högre personaltäthet behövs för att bättre kunna utforma ett stöd som tillmötesgår deras behov.

Abstract [en]

The occurrence of mental illness amongst the elderly has increased and is a relatively unexplored subject. About 22% of the Swedish population that suffered from mental illness or behavioural disorders in 2019 was elderly. This study will use a qualitative method and semi structured interviews with nine different unit managers within the elderly care, to explore the support for this target group. The purpose of the study is to describe the managers within elderly care's experiences with support for elderly with mental illness. The study’s results show a lack of competence about elderly with mental illness. The conclusion showed collaboration between the operating agencies and a higher staffing density is needed in order to better design a support that fills their needs.
