Spørreundersøkelse blant sykepleiere i sykehjem og hjemmesykepleien om utskrivning av eldre pasienter fra sykehus

I november gjennomføres en e-post spørreundersøkelse blant Norsk Sykepleierforbund sine medlemmer som jobber i sykehjem og hjemmesykepleien. I undersøkelsen spørres det om sykepleiernes synspunkter på ulike sider ved utskrivning av eldre pasienter til tjenestene de jobber i. Formålet med undersøkelsen er å skaffe ny kunnskap som kan bidra til å bedre samarbeidet mellom sykehus og kommuner om eldre pasienter. Norsk Sykepleierforbund er samarbeidspartner, og har gitt oss tilgang til medlemmenes epost adresser. Databehandlerfirmaet Kantar TNS samler inn data. Dersom du har noen spørsmål om undersøkelsen kan du ta kontakt med Prosjektkoordinator Heidi Gautun på tlf. 98 89 37 28, eller E-post: heidi.gautun@nova.hioa.no

Advisory Board Meeting

August 24th, an Advisory Board Meeting was arranged in Oslo at Campus Pilestredet. The Advisory Board consisted of three external experts within the research field:

  • Prof. Clarke (University of Edinburgh, Nursing, Wellbeing of Older People),
  • Prof. Wagner (NIVEL, NL, Health Care Innovations, Hospital Care and Quality of Life in frail Older People),
  • Prof. Billings (University of Kent, Integrated Care for Older People)

The meeting was very constructive, and provided several useful inputs to the project. Prof. Wagner was unfortunately not able to attend the meeting. It was decided that a new meeting with the Advisory Board should be carried out when the three first WP are well underway and have some results, in order to get input on WP4.

Spørreundersøkelse blant sykepleiere i sykehus om utskrivning av eldre pasienter (work package 2)

I mai gjennomføres en e-post spørreundersøkelse blant Norsk Sykepleierforbund sine medlemmer som jobber på sengeposter i somatiske sykehus. I undersøkelsen spørres det om sykepleiernes synspunkter på ulike sider ved utskrivning av eldre pasienter til helse- og omsorgstjenestene i kommunene, som for eksempel vurdering av utskrivingstidspunkt, samarbeid med kommunene, og ivaretakelse av eldre pasienter i overgangen til kommunale helse- og omsorgstjenester. Formålet med undersøkelsen er å skaffe ny kunnskap som kan bidra til et velfungerende samarbeid mellom sykehus og kommuner om eldre pasienter. Norsk Sykepleierforbund er samarbeidspartner, og har gitt oss tilgang til medlemmenes epost adresser. Respons Analyse AS gjennomfører datainnsamlingen. Dersom du har noen spørsmål om undersøkelsen kan du ta kontakt med Prosjektkoordinator Heidi Gautun på tlf. 98 89 37 28, eller E-post: heidi.gautun@nova.hioa.no
