Abstract:
Purpose One may categorize assistive technologies for aged care into two types, namely, supportive (helping the elderly with their everyday activities) and empowering (obtaining physical or educational training to help seniors to maintain their capabilities). This paper looks at the impact of this perspective in the adoption of technologies that are used to aid already declined functions in comparison with technologies that are used to empower an elderly person’s capabilities. The purpose of this paper is to extract the factors that influence adoption of assistive technologies among seniors and the theories used in this context. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted on relevant peer reviewed papers. A preliminary exploratory search was conducted to identify keywords and online databases for the search. A total of 104 papers published since 2000 were analyzed after title, abstract and full text filtering. Findings The study summarizes and categorizes the factors impacting the adoption of assistive technologies among seniors. The paper analyses the theoretical support utilized by literature and maps the empirical evidence for supportive and empowering technologies. Research limitations/implications This research like any other literature review is limited to the search keys. However, the keys have brought to this work from a preliminary search. Practical implications The work informs nursing professionals on the process to adopt technologies among seniors. The paper also helps technology developers to design technological products that are easier to adopt for older adults. Originality/value It was found that existing adoption theories are able to handle supportive technology adoption mainly because of the direct link between usage and improved functionalities. However due to the indirect effect of empowering technologies, elderlies lag in benefit realization for empowering technologies. This opens avenues of research and requires future work and utilization of new theoretical approaches in this area. The paper indicates propositions, claims and suggested questions for future research in both supportive and empowering technologies.

Abstract:
Purpose Cutting-edge hospital and residential care architecture and interior design aim to address the emotional and practical needs of patients, staff and visitors. Yet, whilst improving on past practice, current approaches to design still rarely recognise or respond to individuals. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of design-led research into digital technology across disciplines for the personalisation of healthcare environments and is informed by the authors’ ongoing hospital-based research. Design/methodology/approach This review is based on a design anthropology framework providing insight into designing for changing the experience for older patients in current healthcare contexts and future focused strategies, integrating digital technologies and human-centred design across scale and disciplines. It is informed by ongoing hospital studies based on design-led research methodology, drawing on design anthropology and ethnographical methods. Findings Technology enhanced, human-centred, assistive devices and environments implemented into healthcare across scale are developing but integration is needed for meaningful experiences. Research limitations/implications This review is a positioning paper for design-led research into digital technology across scale and medium. Practical implications This paper provides the basis for practical research including the ongoing hospital-based research of the authors. Social implications This approach potentially enhances emotional experiences of connected healthcare. Originality/value Future care scenarios are proposed, with technology and human experience as key drivers. Individualised and personalised solutions better cater for diversity. Within this context, it is strategic to question and test new ways of crafting the older persons care experience. This paper brings new direction to this discussion.

Abstract:
As per the World Population prospects (19th revision), in 2019 every 11th person (11% of the population) was aged 65 or older and by 2050 every 6th person (16% of the world population) will be aged 65 or older. This rapid growth in people aged 65 and above has and will continue to pose some health management concerns, especially in the elderly with chronic ailments. The need for care provision for the elderly has provoked an exploration of various solutions to address elderly care management. Non-pharmacological interventions that utilize technology, such as robotics, are solutions that have proven to prolong independence and delay the admission of elderly into assisted care facilities. This paper will explore the various types of robotic solutions that are currently available to offer elderly care. This study will look at robotic solutions that are humanoid, animal-like, and robots that do not resemble humans or animals and their applications in elderly care. The various applications of robotics and the respective types of robots utilized in the provision of care in elderly care will be discussed as well.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTWithin the United Kingdom (UK), assisted living technologies are mostly provided through statutory health and social care services following assessment of individual need and application of eligibility criteria. This paper describes the first UK study to explore and develop business approaches and innovations required to make electronic assisted living technologies more accessible to consumers in their fifties and sixties. A robust mixed-method approach was used including a large sample size for a consumer survey, triangulation of methods and confirmation of research findings through validation workshops. This three-year study makes significant and original contributions to understanding consumer needs in this rapidly changing market and offers unique insights into the needs and wants of people aged 50–70. Analysis shows significant differences between consumer and business perceptions, indicating that marketing is not closely aligned to consumers' needs and is affecting the development of the market. New approaches to consumer-led business models are presented to improve information and marketing aimed at 50–70-year-old consumers. A ‘Broker/Independent Advisor’ business model showed most potential for meeting the needs of both consumer and business stakeholders. Findings support future development of an assisted living consumer market to meet growing levels of need and demand, and to offer greater consumer choice of mainstream technologies to enable people to age in place.

Abstract:
Purpose The rousing phenomenon of the ageing population is becoming a vital issue and demanding fulminant actions. Population ageing is a resultant of the enhanced health-care system, groovy antibiotics, medications and economic well-being. Old age leads to copious amounts of ailments. Aged people, owing to their reduced mobility and enervating disabilities, tend to rely upon caretakers and/or nursing personnel. With the increasing vogue of nuclear families in the society, the elderly are at the risk of being unveiled to emotional, physical and fiscal insecurities in the years to come. Caring for those seniors will be an enormous undertaking. Design/methodology/approach There is a dire need for an intelligent assistive system to meet out the requirements of continuous holistic care and monitoring. Assistive robots and systems used for elderly care are studied. The design motivation for the robots, elderly–robot interaction capabilities and technology incorporated in the systems are examined meticulously. Findings From the survey, it is suggested that the subsystems of an assistive robot revamped for better human–machine interactions will be a potential alternative to the human counterpart. Affirmable advancements in the robot design and interaction methodologies that would increase the holistic care and assistance for aged people are analyzed and listed. Originality/value This paper reviews the available assistive technologies and suggests a synergistic model that can be adopted for the caring of the elderly.

Abstract:
Abstract In 2000, Japan introduced a mandatory long-term care insurance program to facilitate aging-in-place of older care recipients; there has been a great demand for assistive technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence) and robots in care settings to reduce the burden of caregivers and long-term care costs in society. This study examined the relationship between the trust in social security and acceptance of assistive technology for ADL help and discussed the challenges in introducing technology in a well-developed social security system. An online survey was conducted in August 2020 among community-dwelling individuals aged between 40 and 89 across Japan to find out their acceptance of help provided via AI or robotics technology in five dimensions of ADL. In addition, a 5-point Likert scale was used to assess the trust in social security.A total of 4,047 respondents were analyzed in this study. The respondents’ mean age was 60.6 (SD=11.3), and 53.2% of them were female. Of those, 13.2% preferred help from humans in ADL, while for 86.8%, the use of some assistive technology was acceptable. Logistic regression revealed that the female and younger respondents and those who had better health and had completed higher education were more likely to accept AI or robotics technology in all/some ADL if they needed assistance; those with higher trust in social security, however, were less likely to accept technology (OR=.894; p=.011).The challenges in introducing assistive technology under a well-developed social security system will be discussed.

Abstract:
Different embodiments of technology permeate all layers of public and private domains in society. In the public domain of aged care, attention is increasingly focused on the use of socially assistive robots (SARs) supporting caregivers and older adults to guarantee that older adults receive care. The introduction of SARs in aged-care contexts is joint by intensive empirical and philosophical research. Although these efforts merit praise, current empirical and philosophical research are still too far separated. Strengthening the connection between these two fields is crucial to have a full understanding of the ethical impact of these technological artefacts. To bridge this gap, we propose a philosophical-ethical framework for SAR use, one that is grounded in the dialogue between empirical-ethical knowledge about and philosophical-ethical reflection on SAR use. We highlight the importance of considering the intuitions of older adults and their caregivers in this framework. Grounding philosophical-ethical reflection in these intuitions opens the ethics of SAR use in aged care to its own socio-historical contextualisation. Referring to the work of Margaret Urban Walker, Joan Tronto and Andrew Feenberg, it is argued that this socio-historical contextualisation of the ethics of SAR use already has strong philosophical underpinnings. Moreover, this contextualisation enables us to formulate a rudimentary decision-making process about SAR use in aged care which rests on three pillars: (1) stakeholders’ intuitions about SAR use as sources of knowledge; (2) interpretative dialogues as democratic spaces to discuss the ethics of SAR use; (3) the concretisation of ethics in SAR use.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety acknowledged understaffing and substandard care in residential aged care and home care services, and recommendations were made that that the Australian Government should promote assistive technology within aged care. Robotic care assistants can provide care and companionship for the elderly—both in their own homes and within health and aged care institutions. Although more research is required into their use, studies indicate benefits, including enabling the elderly to live independently at home, assistance with medication and monitoring of safety. Nevertheless, there are inherent ethical challenges in the use of robots as carers, including loss of privacy, unwarranted restrictions on autonomy, lack of dignity, deception, and the exacerbation of loneliness. Ethics by design can counter these issues in development of robotics and clinical ethics committees have been put forward as a way of dealing with the ethical use of robotic care in healthcare institutions. In this paper I outline the ethical challenges of robotic care assistants and how these may be mediated in their design and use.

Abstract:
Background The increase in life expectancy and recent advancements in technology and medical science have changed the way we deliver health services to the aging societies. Evidence suggests that home telemonitoring can significantly decrease the number of readmissions, and continuous monitoring of older adults’ daily activities and health-related issues might prevent medical emergencies. Objective The primary objective of this review was to identify advances in assistive technology devices for seniors and aging-in-place technology and to determine the level of evidence for research on remote patient monitoring, smart homes, telecare, and artificially intelligent monitoring systems. Methods A literature review was conducted using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature Plus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore, ProQuest Central, Scopus, and Science Direct. Publications related to older people’s care, independent living, and novel assistive technologies were included in the study. Results A total of 91 publications met the inclusion criteria. In total, four themes emerged from the data: technology acceptance and readiness, novel patient monitoring and smart home technologies, intelligent algorithm and software engineering, and robotics technologies. The results revealed that most studies had poor reference standards without an explicit critical appraisal. Conclusions The use of ubiquitous in-home monitoring and smart technologies for aged people’s care will increase their independence and the health care services available to them as well as improve frail elderly people’s health care outcomes. This review identified four different themes that require different conceptual approaches to solution development. Although the engineering teams were focused on prototype and algorithm development, the medical science teams were concentrated on outcome research. We also identified the need to develop custom technology solutions for different aging societies. The convergence of medicine and informatics could lead to the development of new interdisciplinary research models and new assistive products for the care of older adults.

Abstract:
Assistive technology is an important field that has gained a lot of attention and has developed rapidly in recent years. This thesis identified what kind of assistive technologies are currently used within elderly care and further examined the professionals’ attitude towards the assistive technology. A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted with a total of four professionals and the empirical findings were analyzed with the use of Technology Acceptance Model. The empirical findings showed that professionals have generally positive attitudes towards the assistive technology, however, the study showed that different types or versions of the same assistive technology affected the perception of using it. Additionally, the study examined the barriers and opportunities of using the technologies. There were concerns identified and potential improvements that could be made; however, the overall benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Abstract:
Values associated with the care of the elderly have changed and developed during the last decades due to socio-political changes. Dignity is a basic concept for quality care regardless of how and where care is given. Assistive Technology Services (ATS) are used to promote quality care and support for care-dependent elderly living at home. Previous research has described quality care and the use of ATS in care; however, as values change over time it is necessary to illuminate values in care. The overall aim of this licentiate thesis was to describe elderly peoples' perceptions about care and the use of ATS if care is needed in the future. Qualitative research interviews were conducted with twelve healthy elderly couples living in their own homes. All participants were 70 years of age or older and received no professional care or social support. Open, individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysis was supported by written vignettes describing three levels of care needs. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the interviews.This study shows that regardless of the health scenario presented ranging from required care while remaining in the home with a healthy partner to total dependence for care without a partner in the home; participants strived to maintain the self and desired dignified care at the end of life. As the health scenarios were changed they discussed new solutions to achieve the goals of individuality and dignity. The best care was related to their home and their relationship to the partner and later on the best care was perceived as being in a nursing home with well educated nursing staff. Participants hoped that nursing competence included a basic nursing competence as well as respect, compassion and ability to closeness. The risk of losing one's individuality and becoming anonymous without meaningful relationships was a pervading concern amongst participants. There were also a broad range of perceptions regarding the use of ATS in care. ATS was seen as either an asset or a threat depending on care needs and abilities. The use of ATS was viewed positively by participants of the study since it would enable them to continue a normal life even if they had some disabilities. The trust they experienced in their relationship with their partner was a firm foundation for learning and handling new technology. Hesitation in their abilities to use ATS increased if they lacked a partner and their cognitive impairment increased. Hesitation turned to fear and revulsion against the use of ATS if they were dependent for their care and they did not have a partner at home to assist them.These findings highlight elderly peoples' values about quality care and the use of ATS in care and should be taken into consideration when planning care of the elderly, and implementing new technology related to their care.
Det finns ett flertal uttryck som beskriver användandet av informations- och kommunikationsteknologiska hjälpmedel men det som genomgående använts i denna licentiatuppsats är ATS. Ett uttryck som vi anser väl beskriver olika teknologiska hjälpmedel. Därför kommer ATS även att användas i den svenska sammanfattningen. Värderingar inom god vård av äldre har förändrats och utvecklats under det senaste århundradet i takt med sociopolitiska förändringar. God vård handlar om värdig vård där grundläggande begrepp som värdighet utgör basen för hur vården skall utformas. Värdighet innebär att människan har en absolut värdighet och oberoende på vilket sätt eller var vården ges bör detta vara ett signum för vården. Vård av äldre på institution har alltmer ersatts av vård i hemmet. Detta underlättas till stor del av att ATS alltmer används för att stödja och underlätta boende i hemmet. Forskning som beskriver värderingar om god vård finns men eftersom värderingarna förändras över tid är det av stort värde att kontinuerligt kartlägga dessa värderingar. Det övergripande syftet med denna licentiatuppsats var att beskriva äldre personers föreställningar om god vård och användande av ATS i händelse av vård. Licentiatuppsatsen består av två delstudier, delstudie I vars syfte var att beskriva äldre personers förställning av god vård och delstudie II, vars syfte var att beskriva äldre personers föreställning om användande av ATS i vård. I studierna ingår tolv par. Kriterier för att kunna delta i studierna var att alla deltagarna var > 70 år, etablerad pensionär, sammanboende i minst 5 år och inte någon form av teknisk support som exempelvis alarm eller annat beviljat bistånd. Den yngsta var 70 år och den äldste deltagaren var 83 år. Kvalitativa individuella forskningsintervjuer har använts som datainsamlingsmetod. För att få fram deltagarnas föreställningar om god vård och användande av ATS användes en vinjett med olika scenarier som alltmer komplicerades. Frågorna ställdes utifrån två olika perspektiv, eget perspektiv och partnerns perspektiv. Deltagarna ombads reflektera över dessa scenarier och besvara de frågor som följde. Intervjuerna spelades in på band och skrevs därefter ut ordagrant. Utifrån syftet användes en kvalitativ tematisk innehållsanalys för att analysera intervjuerna. Resultatet visar att värderingarna förändras beroende vilken livssituation man befinner sig i. Så länge som informanterna själv kunde bestämma över sitt liv, hade kontroll över tillvaron beskrevs hemmet som en självklarhet att bo kvar i även om man var i behov av viss assistans för att klara den personliga hygienen. En mycket viktig förutsättning var också att det fanns en frisk partner i hemmet. Tillsammans med partner uttryckte informanterna att det fanns möjlighet att klara av oväntade, nya situationer. Tilliten till den långvariga relationen utgjorde den självklara bas där yttre omständigheter som sjukdomar och åldrande kunde hanteras och uthärdas. När deltagarna reflekterade över att vara totalt beroende av vård ändrades deras föreställning om att få vård i hemmet. Av hänsyn till partners hälsa och rätt till ett eget liv menade de allra flesta att det var fel att belasta partnern. Partnern skall inte vårda den som är sjuk, det poängterades att det var viktigt att bibehålla den äktenskapliga relationen. I dessa scenarier valde deltagarna att få vård på institution där det fanns välutbildad personal. Föreställningar om användande av ATS visade på stor variation beroende på egen förmåga och behovet av vård. Vid ett ringa behov av vård värderades användande av ATS som en tillgång. Samtliga deltagare beskrev många positiva effekter med den nya teknologin, exempelvis kunde det innebära att man kunde bo kvar hemma betydligt längre och även känna trygghet eftersom användande av ATS innebär att man kände sig trygg. Med ett alltmer ökat beroende av vård uttrycktes osäkerhet om vilka konsekvenser användande av ATS kunde medföra. Även här nämndes partners närvaro som en viktig förutsättning för att man skulle kunna båda lära sig men även kunna känna tillit till ATS. Totalt beroende av vård och ingen partner i hemmet uppfattades användande av ATS som ett hot. Att i en sådan situation använda ATS för vård i hemmet väckte både rädsla och förtvivlan. Det fanns en genomgående överensstämmelse om att användande av ATS aldrig kan ersätta det mänskliga mötet. Ensamhet, isolering and osäkerhet var uttryck som ofta återkom när föreställningarna om god vård och ATS diskuterades. Speciellt när behovet av vård var totalt och ingen partner längre fanns i hemmet. I de situationerna var deltagarnas behov av att bli sedd och berörd det som var det allra viktigaste. Att bli behandlad med värdighet poängterades ofta, en önskan om att vårdpersonalen förutom tekniskt kunnande även har kunskap som medkänsla och respekt.

Abstract:
This research identifies the affordances of technology in aged care from the perspectives of senior managers. Interviews with Executives and Directors in a large aged care provider, an aged care industry body, and an aged care technology developer revealed the numerous ways in which technology shapes the aged care work environment. The findings suggest that government, aged care organisations, and technology providers need to balance the efficiencies of technology adoption with the humanistic nature of aged care work.

Abstract:
Background: Persons with developmental disabilities (DDs) represent about 1-3% of the total population in Canada; however, very little statistical data exists regarding this population in the context of long-term care (LTC). As the life expectation of these individuals increases, the distinct needs they have that are associated with aging should be addressed in LTC to help improve the quality and relevancy of the care they receive. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Open coding of interview transcripts, and content analysis was completed. Descriptive statistics of the sample were calculated using Excel. Results: All participants had experienced earlier functional decline which resulted in changes in their care needs. Often this meant needing to change their assistive devices. Many participants feared losing their independence as they aged. Conclusion: There is insufficient understanding of the unique needs that face people aging with DDs or how they access LTC. The preference for these individuals is to age in place, their independence must be maintained in order for this to be successful. Three factors help to facilitate this: assistive devices, attendant care and accessibility of health care services. Contexte: Les personnes ayant un handicaps developmental représentent environ 1-3% de la population totale au Canada. Cependant, très peu de données statistiques concernant cette population existent dans le contexte de soins de longue durée. L’espérance de vie de ces personnes augmente, les besoins distincts associés au vieillissement devraient être examinés pour aider à améliorer la qualité et la pertinence des soins qu'ils reçoivent dans les soins de longue durée. Méthodes: Une étude qualitative exploratoire. Des entrevues semi-structurées ont été menées. Les transcriptions d'entrevues ont été codées en utilisant un style de codage ouvert et l'analyse de contenu a été accomplie. Les statistiques descriptives des participants ont été calculées. Résultats: Plusieurs thèmes sont devenus apparents. Tous les participants avaient connu un déclin fonctionnel à un jeune âge qui a entraîné des changements dans leurs besoins de soins. Souvent, cela signifit avoir à changer leurs appareils et accessoires fonctionnels. De nombreux participants craignaient de perdre leur indépendance en vieillissant. Conclusion: Il y a une méconnaissance des besoins uniques auxquels font face les personnes vieillissant avec un handicap developmental et la façon dont ils accident aux soins de longue durée. La préférence pour ces personnes est de viellir en place, leur indépendance devant être maintenue pour que ce soit un succès. Trois facteurs contribuent à faciliter ceci: les appareils et accessoires fonctionnels, les soins auxiliaires et l'accessibilité aux services santé.

Abstract:

Assistive technology may delay cognitively impaired elders’ need for long-term institutionalization, and the promote independence. Its use is on the rise, yet the gap between the needs of the cognitive impaired elderly and what developers of the assistive technologies design, manufacture, and implement, remains to be filled. Using Inayatullah’s 6-pillar approach, as the guide to the future of assistive technology, the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how assistive technologies may fulfill the daily functional needs of the cognitively impaired elderly with Alzheimer’s or other dementia by 2037. Data were collected from a focus group of 10 seniors at a senior center in a large mid-Atlantic city, as well as survey data from with 5 family members of the cognitively impaired elderly and 16 technology developers from an engineering society. These data were coded according to the thematic content analysis and causal layered analysis. The future triangle analysis served as a second layer of analysis. Findings indicated that the most desirable outcome for 2037 is that of the “happy retiree,” characterized by flourishing cultural and financial opportunities, and the least desirable is that of the “struggling pensioner” characterized by monetary gains of the social elite at the expense of the poor and working class. The most expected outcome, though, is the “caring robot” that is characterized by the use of technology and artificial intelligence to promote equitable social and health care benefits to aging citizens. Positive social change may be achieved through recommendations to state, local, and national policy makers that support the improvement in the elders' well-being, the delay of hospitalization, and greater support for the duties of family members, and greater caretaker independence.

Abstract:
Background: An ageing society and rising prevalence in dementia are associated with rising demand for care home places. Monitoring technologies (e.g. bed-exit alarms; wearable location-tracking devices) are appealing because of their potential to enhance safety, increase resident freedom, and reduce staff burden. However, it is unclear how far use of such technologies can deliver potential benefits, and there are ethical challenges from their use. This study explored the implementation of monitoring technologies in care homes for people with dementia, to identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of these technologies in practice. Methods: An embedded multiple-case study design was employed with 3 dementia-specialist care homes in North-West England. Data collection included 36 semi-structured interviews with staff, relatives and residents, informed by Normalization Process Theory to focus on individual and organisational factors within implementation; 175 hours’ non-participant observation; investigation of care records and technology manufacturer literature; and questionnaires to establish participant attitudes towards technologies. Qualitative data were analysed using Framework Analysis. Findings: 5 overarching themes emerged: (1) Reasons for using technologies; (2) How technologies were implemented; (3) What happened when using technologies; (4) Understanding of technologies; (5) Business and environmental influences. Mitigation of risk seemed to override other potential benefits (e.g. resident freedom) or ethical concerns (e.g. the remote monitoring of residents with impaired cognition), as a reason for use. This emphasis seemed to position monitoring technologies as being understood as fundamentally different to other interventions, and challenged adherence to philosophies of care emphasising resident choice. Some staff, relatives and residents did not seem to be involved in discussion and decision-making regarding technologies, and seemed to lack knowledge about technologies within the homes. Staff training appeared mainly informal, based upon assumptions of simplicity of use, which might not have been sufficient to ensure that staff fully understood the technologies. Staff understanding and awareness of the technologies appeared to be influenced in part by location, both organisationally (i.e. their role) and physically (i.e. within the building). Technical and physical properties of the technologies appeared to work in relation with the physical environments of the homes, which suggested that there may not be an ideal set of physical properties for any particular technology. Some technologies offered a range of functional and information-gathering capabilities, which at times were perceived to be useful complements to practice, but at other times less useful, particularly if they were imbued with a financial cost that was not justifiable from a business perspective. Conclusions: Care homes may need to consider greater involvement of all stakeholders in discussions and decisions regarding the use of monitoring technologies, in order to deepen understandings about the potential benefits and challenges from their use. There is also a need to consider the technical compatibility of technologies with the care home premises, and the financial implications from investing in technologies.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Diagnosen demens förekommer världen över och i framtiden förutses antalet drabbade stiga i takt med att livslängden ökar. Demens är en diagnos som innefattar olika symptom. Symptom uppkommer i samband med sjukdomar eller skador i olika delar av hjärnan och den drabbade kan uppleva problem med att hantera sin tillvaro. Några av symptomen vid demenssjukdom kan vara glömska, svårigheter med fysiken och motoriken, svårigheter att orientera sig samt rastlöshet och irritabilitet. Sjuksköterskan skall kunna arbeta ensam eller tillsammans med andra för att bedöma, diagnostisera, planera, genomföra, och utvärdera omvårdnadsarbetet. Utvecklingen av teknik inom vården ställer sjuksköterskor inför nya krav och uppgifter. Syfte: Litteraturstudiens syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av tekniska hjälpmedel inom demenssjukvården. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie där kvalitativa artiklar användes. Totalt inkluderades 11 artiklar. Databasen MEDLINE via PubMed användes för att söka upp samtliga artiklar. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor hade både positiva och negativa erfarenheter. Det ansågs vara viktigt med ett gott samarbete tillsammans med rutiner för implementering och användning av tekniska hjälpmedel. Kunskap om teknologin och ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt var en grundläggande del av omvårdnaden med tekniska hjälpmedel. Sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter visade även att etiken var ett viktigt område att ha i åtanke vid arbetet med tekniska hjälpmedel. Slutsats: Rutiner, teamarbete, kunskap och utbildning är grunden för att arbeta kvalitetssäkert med tekniska hjälpmedel. Den tekniska utvecklingen går hela tiden framåt och teknik i vården är något alla sjuksköterskor någon gång kommer att möta. Det är viktigt att vi tar vara på de erfarenheter som redan finns för att sjuksköterskeyrket och omvårdnadsarbetet skall kunna växa i takt med tekniken.
Background: The diagnosis dementia exists all over the world and the occurrence is expected to rise in the future, as the life span increases. Dementia is a diagnosis that includes different symptoms. Symptoms occurrences is associated with diseases or damages in different parts of the brain and the affected can experience difficulties with handling their existence. Some of the symptoms of dementia can be forgetfulness, difficulties with physics and motor skills, difficulties in finding their way, restlessness and irritability. Nurses shall be able to work alone or with others to assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate the nursing work. The development of technology in health care settings introduces nurses to new demands and tasks. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe nurses’ experiences with assistive technology when caring for people with dementia. Method: Descriptive literature study using qualitative articles. A total of 11 articles was included. The database MEDLINE through PubMed was used when searching for articles. Main results: Nurses experiences with assistive technology was both positive and negative. It was crucial that all the professions were working together with routines for the implementation and application of assistive technology. Knowledge of the technology and a person-centered approach was a key-point in the work with assistive technology. The nurses experiences showed that the ethics was an important subject to consider when talking about and using the technology. Conclusion: Routines, teamwork, knowledge and education is the foundation of quality assured care with assistive technology. The technical development is constantly moving forward and technology in health care is something every nurse is eventually going to face. That is why it is important to take care of the existing experiences so that the nursing profession and work can grow alongside the technology.

Abstract:
Through a case study about the impact of IT adoption in a residential aged care organisation, this thesis examines the increasing pressure for service integration as mainstreamed through reform policies. Specifically, the research investigates the role of IT in facilitating the 1997 aged care reform agenda of 'ageing in place' focusing on the levels of transformation from the policy context to the organisational/management context, and to the context of service provision by care staff. A single embedded case study (Yin, 1993) is used in order to meet the general objective to capture the dynamics of the impact of ageing in place in the three social contexts. The research is informed by social constructionism, a theoretical framework that emphasises the significance and effects of language in shaping social realities (Ainsworth, 2001; Hosking, 1999). The framework, therefore, justifies the qualitative analysis of both written (i.e., policy documents) and spoken (i.e., interviews with staff) texts to address meaning in relation to context. Changing technologies can result in altered societal structures (Betz, 2003) at all levels, from the very complex to the very basic. As such, it is important to understand a few basic premises of technology. First, technology is a human invention to improve the well-being of society (Ayres, 1996). Consequently, technological inventions that improve the quality of life are seen by people as a necessity for modern living. In the case of ageing, modernisation and technological advances effectively resulted in people becoming healthier and living longer (Department of Health and Aged Care [DHAC], 2000). Second, technology is a human means to control nature (Betz, 2003). As such, technological advances can be seen as a modernising process of predicting and regulating the effects of the trends existing in the environment, such as ageing. Ageing in the twenty first century presents a challenge to government's development policies because ageing is depicted as a steady force with a long-term economic impact (Johnson, 1999). Third, a technology becomes powerful when it is sponsored by the market (Betz, 2003; Hughes, 1983). Unless a technology is backed by business, it lacks the influence on a large scale. Fourth, technology is used to enable change. By using IT, governments, business and the community are co-operating through a paradigm similar to the business sector. As a result, the service environment is shifting towards more business-like approaches. To sustain the changes brought by a different paradigm and modes of operation, the rhetoric of technology is employed. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to investigate the use of IT in processes of organisational adaptations to reform, which requires the examination of: a) specific meaning of IT as used in long-term care policies for older people since the last structural reform, b) the rationale behind the introduction of a new IT system into a residential care organisation, and c) the meaning of IT as articulated by care staff who have experienced a change in technology. The first paper represents a rhetorical analysis at the macro or policy level. There is a significant influence of a global political actor in developing proactive strategies on ageing, which results in a new, multi-organisational approach in delivering government-subsidised services, such as residential care. Three key institutional texts were selected to represent international to local policy development since the time ageing became a global concern. Since then, ageing is also viewed as a human rights issue. Using Burke's pentad, an analytic framework to analyse rhetoric in texts (Stillar, 1998), these institutional texts are seen to employ the rhetoric of 'technology for sustainability' to justify changes to policy approaches that seek long-term viability. Technology, in the name of sustainable development ensures support for economic growth, which balances the long-term effects of population ageing. The existence of a global force, such as population ageing, allows the intervening powers of the UN in mainstreaming ageing into development policies. Accordingly, it initiates corresponding actions at national (Australian Commonwealth Government) and state (Queensland Government) levels. IT is a medium of communication, knowledge transfer, and standard practice at these levels of actions. The second paper represents a qualitative analysis at the meso or organisational level. This paper explores the cogent rationale in the introduction of a computer-based, care documentation system in a large residential aged care organisation. Twenty two staff, from every level of the organisation, were interviewed to get an insight into the role of IT in substantive changes to organisational structure and modes of service provision. Responses from staff indicate external and internal influence that pressured the organisation to change. In the bid to sustain the future of aged care, the industry is changing through the introduction of new structure of service delivery. The Aged Care Structural Reform instigated a shift towards sustainable service provision that is consumer-driven, with a fixed cost compliance mechanism and performance criteria that are tied to funding. Facing the requirement for evidence to corroborate funding, a residential care organisation changed its structure of service delivery by introducing a new strategic direction. IT is part of this new strategic direction, planning, and operations of a changed service environment. The third paper represents a qualitative analysis at the micro or individual level to examine the impact of IT at frontline service delivery. This study is also based on interviews with twenty-two staff, across the organisational structure; however, this time the focus is more on staff who are involved in providing direct care to older residents at the organisation. The reason behind this is that IT has always been a management tool which handles management priorities such as financial planning and performance monitoring. The themes arising from the interviews indicate discord at the level of service delivery from the introduction of a new technical system. It also points to the idea that staff generally refer to ethical ideas and future promise of the new system. In summary, these three papers attached to this thesis support the notion that the meaning of technology is socially constructed. First, technology in the aged care sector has particular reference to improving or enhancing the well-being of older people, and in this case, the provision of high quality services that fulfil the needs of older people. Second, IT has an important role in meeting the evidence-based requirement, such as in the use of information in manipulating the use of resources required for the ageing population. Third, the meaning of IT is conceived from the context requiring its use such as the need to use resource efficiently to ensure long-term sustainability, which were emphasised in the last reform. Fourth, IT is used to enable structural changes in organisations to implement generic practices originated from the business sector, requiring the use of strong rhetoric such as balance and future. The limit of this case study is that these dimensions of technology can only be applied to the specific context of aged care and is not generalisable to other political contexts. However, the strength of the study rests on the macro-, meso- and micro-analysis of the meaning of technology. Therefore, future studies should investigate and compare the dimensions of technology in other contexts.
