  Objective: The objective of this review was to explore whether knowledge about and practice of technology for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia (D) had developed since our 2017 review. Furthermore, we wanted to explore the usability and acceptability of technology in the newer trials, and how these may impact quality of life, occupational performance and human dignity. Materials and Methods: We searched for primary studies published between 2017 and 2020 reusing medical subject heading (MeSH) terms in five databases – Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Amed and Cinahl – and obtained 1452 titles. The titles were divided in six piles, two for each of the three authors. The titles were sorted utilizing the Rayyan web tool. Fourteen studies were included in this review. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the quality of the studies examined. Results: This review included almost twice as many participants as in the 2007– 2017 review. Since 2017, a shift seems to have occurred toward technologies that can be worn on the body to monitor body functions and report states, or imbalances. Moreover, research interest is now focused on mobile phone apps and wearables providing reminders and timely support, rather than on separate devices at home. Conclusion: The studies conducted since 2017 report on wearable and environmental digital assistive technologies and often with multiple purposes. Three strategies for support seem evident: prompting and reminding people with dementia, monitoring people with dementia at home using environmental sensors and biosensors and providing safety outdoors. Thus, there is still a need for further research on the impact of technologies promoting occupational performance, quality of life, and human dignity for independent living.

  Abstract: Background: The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has caused different challenges in societies around the world. For educators, an increased focus on education of health personnel, defined as any form of learning and caring for students whom lockdown has sent into “home offices” and who need advice and support. Aim: To describe nursing students’ experiences of their caring, learning and learning environment during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Four nursing students in their second year of the Bachelor programme in Oslo, the capital of Norway, participated in a qualitative study in June 2020. A semi structured focus group interview was conducted, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Three categories emerged from the analysis: Experiences of concern for the study situation, Experiences of a Changing Learning Environment, and Motivation for a Future Role as a Nurse. Conclusion: The nursing students reflected on the importance of participation and cooperation with teachers and fellow students in the ongoing digital and social learning process to reach the goal of completing a nursing education. Being included and supported by educators and fellow students in the study situation helped the students to stay on and master their educational and personal challenges.

  Abstract Background: Citizen involvement is important for ensuring the relevance and quality of many research and innovation efforts. Literature shows that inadequate citizen involvement poses an obstacle during the research, development, and implementation of assistive technology. Previous studies have addressed the advantages and disadvantages of citizen engagement in health research and technology development, and there is concern about how to ensure valuable engagement to avoid situations where they don’t have influence. Frail older adults are often excluded from being active partners in research projects. The overall objective of this commentary is to describe a case where dialogue cafés was used as a method for involving assisted living residents in technology discussions, elaborating on the following research question: In what ways are dialogue cafés useful for directing research and development and for engaging residents in assisted living facilities in assistive technology discussions? Method: Six dialogue cafés with assisted living residents as participants were carried out over a period of 3 years (2016–19). Reports that were written after each café by the group leaders and rapporteurs provide the material for the analyses in this paper. Results: This study demonstrates an example of facilitating user involvement where the participants felt useful by contributing to research and discussions on assistive technology and where this contribution in fact directed the research and development in the overall Assisted Living Project. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that dialogue cafés enable older residents at an assisted living facility to contribute with opinions about their needs and perspectives on assistive technologies. This negates the view of older adults as too frail to participate and demonstrates the importance of including and collaborating with older adults in research.

  ntroduction: The western world is seeking increased implementation of assistive technology (AT) to meet the challenges of an ageing population. The objective of this study is to explore perspectives on AT use among home-dwelling older adults with or without cognitive impairment. Methods: This study combines findings from a cross-sectional study with a questionnaire package (n = 83) and from qualitative individual interviews (n = 7) and is part of a larger study, the Assisted Living Project. Combining methods promotes complementary inquiries into a phenomenon. Results: The participants already use ATs: TVs, social alarms, mobile phones, stove timers, electronic medical dispensers, PCs and tablet computers. They were both optimistic and skeptical of AT, and expressed different perspectives and expressed different perspectives on ATs in relation to usability, privacy and fear of losing personal face-to-face care. Conclusions: This study reveals that older adults' perspectives on AT are multifaceted and complex, and can partly be explained by the interacting factors in the HAAT model: person, technology, environment, and context. Further exploration in relation to older adults with health challenges, as well as ethical perspectives on AT implementation, is required for this group. Trial registration number: The Norwegian Research Council, Number 47996, funds the Assisted Living Project (ALP).IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe study was useful in order to inform the health care services about older adults "perspectives on assistive technology".This study reveals the complexity of understanding perspectives towards and the use of assistive technology among older adults with or without cognitive impairment.This study contributes to the understanding of the interactions between the four components: humans, activities, technology and the context.

A reflection from an integrated RRI project. Journal of Responsible Technology. 5. doi: 10.1016/j.jrt.2020.100007. Show summary

  This article presents an analysis of a project in the field of assisted living technologies (ALT) for older adults where Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is used as an overall approach to the research and technology development work. Taking the project's three literature reviews - conducted in the fields of health science oriented towards occupational therapy, ICT research and development, and RRI - as starting points it applies perspectives from institutional logics to analyse the tension between RRI as an overall research and innovation (R&I) logic versus a disciplinary logic. This tension complicates the implementation of RRI, and we argue for giving this question more visibility. The article concludes that this project, from the funder's side and the project leader's side, was intended to be an example of research and technology development carried out within a new RRI R&I logic, but that it in large parts was conducted as a multidisciplinary project with RRI as a quasi-disciplinary logic in part in parallel with and in part in conflict with other logics in the project.

  Purpose Quality of life (QOL) is an important concept in the field of health and medicine. QOL is a complex concept that is interpreted and defined differently within and between disciplines, including the fields of health and medicine. The aims of this study were to systematically review the literature on QOL in medicine and health research and to describe the country of origin, target groups, instruments, design, and conceptual issues. Methods A systematic review was conducted to identify research studies on QOL and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The databases Scopus, which includes Embase and MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched for articles published during one random week in November 2016. The ten predefined criteria of Gill and Feinstein were used to evaluate the conceptual and methodological rigor. Results QOL research is international and involves a variety of target groups, research designs, and QOL measures. According to the criteria of Gill and Feinstein, the results show that only 13% provided a definition of QOL, 6% distinguished QOL from HRQOL. The most frequently fulfilled criteria were: (i) stating the domains of QOL to be measured; (ii) giving a reason for choosing the instruments used; and (iii) aggregating the results from multiple items. Conclusion QOL is an important endpoint in medical and health research, and QOL research involves a variety of patient groups and different research designs. Based on the current evaluation of the methodological and conceptual clarity of QOL research, we conclude that the majority QOL studies in health and medicine have conceptual and methodological challenges

  I denne artikkelen utforskes omsorgsfenomenet i lys av ulike faglige perspektiver, henholdsvis diakoni, tilknytningsteori, sykepleie og livskvalitetsforskning. Hensikten er å bidra til å utdype og klargjøre fenomenet med særlig tanke på det økende behovet for tverrfaglig samarbeid på ulike områder. Vi har benyttet beskrivelser av omsorg som henholdsvis en menneskelig tilstand, et moralsk imperativ/ideal, et mellommenneskelig forhold og en terapeutisk intervensjon for å tydeliggjøre sammenfall og ulikheter mellom perspektivene. Gjennom litteraturstudier og en reflekterende tilnærming til materialet kom vi fram til at det eksisterer flere og til dels overraskende fellestrekk mellom de valgte perspektivene.

  Aims and objectives: To provide knowledge about how immigrant parents of children with complex health needs manage their family lives and how this affects their own health and quality of life. Background: Caregivers of children with complex health needs have additional risk for general health problems and mental health problems and immigrant parents may be more vulnerable to mental distress and failing health and quality of life. Results: Immigrant parents of children with complex health needs experience their own health and quality of life challenges. They described the burden of dealing with their child's needs and special care, which affects their sleep and physical and mental health. Single mothers are particularly vulnerable. Conclusion: Parents reported positive and negative effects of their caregiving experience that may affect their health and quality of life. Mothers were the primary caregivers and reported more health problems than did fathers. The lack of respite care, social networks and support impacted maternal health. Immigrant parents struggle to access resources for their child with complex health needs. Relevance to clinical practice: Hospital nurses, schools and community health care can play a valuable role in supporting the parents of children with complex health needs. It is important that parents are informed about their rights and receive a coordinator and interdisciplinary group to ensure that their needs are met with assistance and respite care. That maternal health was worse in this sample implies that health care professionals should pay more attention to reducing stress among these caregivers.

  Background: Quality of life (QOL) has become established as a central concept and target for research and practice in the field of health and medicine. However, QOL is a complex concept that is interpreted and defined differently within and between disciplines, and so is also the case in health and medicine. Thus, there is a continuing philosophical debate about the meaning and content of QOL and how it should be measured. Aim: The aim of the present study was to perform a review of QOL research in medicine and health, and describe country of origin, target groups, instruments, design and conceptual issues Methods: A Systematic snapshot review were conducted with literature searches in the databases Scopus, covering Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO, to identify research studies on QOL and Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) published during one random week in November 2016. To evaluate the conceptual and methodological rigor, we used the 10 predefined criteria developed by Gill and Feinstein. Results: The findings show that QOL research is truly international, involves a variety of target groups, uses different research designs and a whole host of QOL measures. When it comes to evaluation according to the criteria developed by Gill and Feinstein, most articles still have a low-quality score; only 13 % of the articles provided a definition of the concept of QOL, few studies (6%) distinguished QOL from HRQOL. Criteria that were fulfilled most frequently were; i) stating the domains of QOL to be measured, ii) giving a reason for choosing the instruments they used, and iii) aggregating the results from multiple items. Conclusion. Knowledge about QOL is important for understanding the consequences of illness and treatment, and for medical decision-making. However, based on the current evaluation of the methodological and conceptual clarity of QOL research, we conclude that most QOL studies in health and medicine have conceptual and methodological challenges.

  Bakgrunn Assisted Living-prosjektet (2016-2020) er et tverrfaglig prosjekt, og har ansvarlig forskning og innovasjon (Responsible Research and Innovation – RRI) som et overordnet rammeverk. Prosjektet er støttet av Norges Forskningsråd. Mål Målet er å involvere brukere i utviklingen av nye teknologiske løsninger som kan støtte eldre med mild kognitiv svikt i å mestre hverdagen. Studien foregår sammen med potensielle brukere som definerer egne behov for teknologi, stiller krav til produktutviklingen og evaluerer produkter og systemer som de tester. Metode Metoder for rekruttering var invitasjonsbrev, personlig samtale, og at husverten i omsorgsboligen oppmuntret beboeren til å delta i prosjektet. Inklusjon av deltakere foregikk i fem trinn: (1) Forskerteamet inviterte seg til et regulært husmøte i omsorgsboligen og presenterte prosjektet. Beboerne som møtte ble invitert til å delta i individuelle intervju, først (2) en spørreundersøkelse og deretter til (3) kvalitative intervjuer. I tillegg ble beboerne invitert til to (4, 5) «dialog-kafeer» med gruppediskusjoner knyttet til utfordringer i hverdagslivet og diskusjoner om mulige teknologiske løsninger som ble presentert ved scenarier. Resultat Studien er i oppstartsfasen. Vi vil presentere erfaringer og ideer med å rekruttere og involvere deltakere i hele prosessen fra å undersøke behov, utfordringer i hverdagen og til utvikling av teknologiske løsninger. Samproduksjon av kunnskap om hvordan noen eldre anser behov for teknologi og hvordan de kan nyttiggjøre seg velferdsteknologi for opplevelse av livskvalitet og verdighet vektlegges. Brukermedvirkning kan skape engasjement og deltakelse og er et steg på veien til å sikre ansvarlig innovasjon i utvikling av teknologiske løsninger.

Social interactions in municipal healthcare - A qualitative study exploring the perceptions of family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds and healthcare personnel employed in dementia teams and home-based care. OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. ISSN 978-82-8364-479-1. Show summary

  This thesis draws attention to social interactions in dementia care within municipal healthcare services. Family caregivers are entitled to receive assistance and support tailored to their needs, regardless of ethnicity or culture. A major political goal in municipal healthcare services is to maintain solid and equal relations between patients, relatives, and healthcare personnel, ensuring a long-term partnership. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to explore perceptions of social interactions between family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds who have relatives living with dementia and healthcare personnel employed in dementia teams and home-based care. A social constructivist perspective underpins this thesis, which employed a qualitative approach influenced by the theoretical thoughts of Pierre Bourdieu (1977, 1979, 1980, 1990a, 1990b, 1992). The thesis is composed of three articles. Between December 2019 and June 2021, empirical data were collected from seven geographical districts in Oslo and seven surrounding municipalities. The empirical data were generated through 28 qualitative semistructured interviews with healthcare personnel employed in dementia teams and home-based care and with family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds. A reflexive thematic analysis was used to systematise the empirical data (Braun & Clarke, 2019). To enhance our understanding of social interactions in municipal healthcare, Bourdieu's theory inspired and guided the analytical process. This theory assumes that society is organised into a hierarchy of social relations and has served as a framework for understanding how municipal healthcare practices contribute to the emergence of power relations between family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds and healthcare personnel in dementia teams and home-based care. It is suggested in this thesis that municipal healthcare services require further exploration of their institutional contexts. The findings reveal a mismatch between the ideals of high-quality care and support for people with dementia and their families from minority ethnic backgrounds and the external institutional frameworks in which such services are delivered. Despite Norwegian authorities' emphasis on cultural competence among healthcare personnel in municipal healthcare services, our findings indicate that family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds were more concerned with fragmented and poor healthcare systems in general than with cultural insensitivity. Moreover, we reveal tensions between healthcare personnel's lack of time and resources and their obligation to meet family caregivers' needs and requirements, leading to some family caregiver behaviours being viewed as more valuable than others. Healthcare personnel appears to be facing significant problems when dealing with diverse or different behaviours. When interacting with family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds, the importance of resemblance over diversity appears to have been more significant. The perception of family caregivers as either helpful or timeconsuming was also evident in many of the family caregivers' accounts. As a result, perceptions of ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ were viewed as standard rather than discriminatory. Our findings suggest that the inequalities in municipal healthcare concerning family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds were due to multiple discourses interacting with each other, thereby generating power dynamics. Despite Norwegian authorities' commitment to develop dementia healthcare services that are suitable and inclusive for everyone, it is pertinent to ask if the surrounding ideologies of municipal healthcare are in harmony with these ideals. In summary, this thesis argues that normative assumptions about what constitutes a family caregiver must be re-examined from an ethical and moral perspective.
