Abstract [en]

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Due to reported shortcomings in elderly care in Sweden, the government has introduced national guidelines to establish core values and guarantees of dignity. With a bottom-up perspective, core values and local guarantees of dignity were developed using an participatory and appreciative action and reflection (PAAR) approach and implemented in municipal elderly care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the core values and local guarantees of dignity applied by the municipal healthcare staff caring for older persons.

METHOD AND RESULTS: A cross-sectional descriptive design study using a questionnaire was conducted one year after the implementation of core values and local guarantees of dignity in municipal elderly care. In total, 608 caregivers answered the questionnaire. The results show that the caregivers strived to apply the core values and local guarantees of dignity, but experienced obstacles from the organisation. Proposals were given to facilitate further application of the core values.
