Salutogent förhållningssätt och ett värdigt liv inom äldreomsorgen
Our study aims to examine whether managers in elderly care are
working from a salutogenic approach to create a dignified life for
the residents. By this we are trying to find out how you look at life
in dignity and what meaning it has, what similarities and what
differences there are. We also want to explore what they want to
achieve with their work and what they do to enable it. The
questions we asked ourselves what the salutogenic approach is for
managers working in nursing homes. How do they look at a decent
life and we ask ourselves the question of the salutogenic approach
is just a "buzzword" in a working man always had or there are real
differences? The method we have chosen to use is a web-based
questionnaire that we sent to our sample. To get the most from such
a high response rate as possible, we also sent out a few reminders.
The result we got shows in as many as 98% of the managers know
what a salutogenic approach involves the remaining 2% had partial
knowledge of its meaning, the loss we had may be because the
respondents did not know what the term meant. The majority 67%
of respondents had been in contact with the concept sometime
between 2000 -2012, which can be attached to the dignity of the
investigation that led to a legislative change in the SOL Chapter 5 §
4 of the elderly and their quality of life, the theory of ethical
perspectives we have chosen to analyze answers are
gerotranscendence, activity theory, Maslow's theory and
empowerment theory. Conclusions we have found in this study is
that many activities have the objective of becoming more
individual-based and in an effort that the residents should be able to
feel the dignity and quality of life. Our interpretation of this study
is that the salutogenic approach is a buzzword.
