A cross-sectional study of welfare technology in elderly care in Dalarna : An analysis from a sustainability perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Sveriges välfärdssystem står inför nya utmaningar, demografiska förändringar och ökade krav på hållbar utveckling kräver nya strategier. Äldreomsorgen beskrivs vara speciellt utsatt eftersom andelen äldre ökar i snabbare takt än resten av befolkningen. Välfärdsteknik beskrivs vara en hållbar strategi utifrån sociala aspekter genom att öka äldres livskvalité och samtidigt förenkla arbetet för omsorgspersonal. Det har visat sig vara svårt att implementera välfärdsteknik vilket har skapat stora skillnader mellan Sveriges kommuners äldreomsorg. Syftetvar att kartlägga Dalarnas välfärdsteknik och utforska skillnader mellan kommunerna, även att undersöka kommunernas främsta skäl för att användatekniken utifrån ekologiska, sociala och ekonomiska hållbarhetsaspekterna. En tvärsnittsstudie med surveydesign genererade kvantitativ kartläggande data samt kvalitativa data där kommunernas främsta skäl för att använda välfärdsteknik undersöktes genom riktad innehållsanalys. Välfärdsteknik var ojämnt fördelat mellan kommunerna och skälen för användning av sådan teknik i äldreomsorgen var främst kopplad till sociala aspekter.

Abstract [en]

Sweden's welfare system is facing new challenges, demographic changes and increased demands for sustainable development require new strategies. Elderly care is described as particularly vulnerable because the proportion of older peopleis increasing at a faster rate than the rest of the population. Welfare technology is described as a sustainable strategy based on social aspects by increasing the quality of life of older people while simplifying the work for care staff. It has proven difficult to implement welfare technology, which has created major differences between Sweden's municipalities' elderly care. The purpose was to map Dalarna's welfare technology and explore differences between the municipalities, also to investigate the municipalities' main reasons for using the technology based on ecological, social and economic sustainability aspects. Across-sectional study with survey design generated quantitative mapping data as well as qualitative data where the municipalities' main reasons for using welfare technology were investigated through targeted content analysis. Welfare technology was unevenly distributed between municipalities and the reasons for using it in elderly care can mainly be linked to social aspects.
