Sammanfattning

This retrospective evaluation of the implementation of Marte Meo at a Jutland care unit consisted of a qualitative interview study of management, Marte Meo tutors and staff, a questionnaire and the examination of the journals of 24 residents now deceased. The staff's conclusion was that Marte Meo was a useful tool that has helped care staff understand residents' needs and enabled to communicate better with them. They believe the method has contributed to a reduction in problematic behaviour among residents and led to greater use of function-supportive actions, which were discussed by the staff. The evaluation concludes that Marte Meo helps improve the staff's communication skills and make them more professional. Individual ways of coping with difficult situations can be changed to a more concerted approach, with function-supportive actions discussed by the staff.
