Vårdplaneringsmötet. En studie av institutionella samtal mellan äldre kvinnor, närstående och vårdare
University of Borås, School of Health Science.

Abstract [en]

The overall aim of this thesis is to describe how elderly women’s encounters with an institutionalised world of health care manifest itself in a discharge planning conference (DPC). The thesis is based on eight video recorded DPCs and follow-up interviews with the women who took part in the conferences. The result of study I, a case study, showed that the woman’s experience of taking part in the DPC was characterised as a feeling of powerlessness. The women’s possibility to have influence on the care planning was small (Study II). Study III revealed that the participants adopted or were assigned to different roles during the DPC. As these roles collided dilemmatic situations occurred. Simultaneously the women and family members struggled to manage the institutional frame that surrounded the meeting by trying to find room within it or by challenging it. Study IV revealed that the women found themselves to be in a vulnerable situation. Their body had failed them, their future was insecure and they felt unprepared as they took part in the DPC. They felt as if they were being affiliated with the other participants in a joint project, as if they were standing outside the event or as if they were in focus for the conversation which. The last was a double edged experience: getting confirmative attention but also being exposed as dependent. Four themes characterise the care that was jointly constructed by all participants during the DPC. These themes are “Care as spirit of community and confirmation”, ”Care as alienation”, ”The incomprehensible care” and “The inflexible and betraitful care”.The result gives rise to questions about the relevance of DPCs in their present shape. Further research and developmental projects requested to achieve dicharge planning conferences that are corresponding better to official caring ideals and the patients needs.
