”Dom vill att det ska vara så som man sagt” : En kvalitativ intervjustudie om genomförandeplaner i äldreomsorgen / ”They want it to be as it was said” : A qualitative interview study on individual plans in elderly care

The care of older people today strives to focus on a person-centered care, aimed to perform individual care filled with wellbeing and respect. To do so the Swedish municipalities are using individual plans to describe how care actions should be performed in line with law descriptions on elderly individuals.This study is a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews aiming to describe and understand how staff working in close contact with elderly individuals establish and use individual plans. This also include difficulties that the staff may experience. The results found that the interviewed staff saw great importance of filling out these plans due to the formal structure linking the plans to law descriptions. The study also explain difficulties with this as they try to make the individual plans work as a living document that is person-centered for the elderly, as well as being a modell for documentation and the work that the staff are assigned. Furthermore, the results also include examples of how the informants show great interest of caring for the elderly and how they also share what could be described as a normative view on the matter.
