Sammanfattning
Background: The proportion of elderly is growing in the Norwegian population, and will in the
foreseeable future constitute the majority of the population that will have the greatest needs for
municipal care. Video communication technology (VCT) used in the context of reablement /
telerehabilitation can facilitate access to nursing staff in a municipality, and enable users to stay at
home longer.
Objective: Generate knowledge that is transferable to Norwegian municipalities and to make use of
VCT and reablement in primary care. By choosing the perspective of the patient, the care personnel
and the employer, we want to present knowledge which can be transferred and used by Norwegian
municipalities.
Methods: Scoping review with searches in the databases CINAHL, Science Direct and Pubmed.
Analysis of 11 empirical studies was conducted.
Results: The scoping review shows that older patients (+ 65 years) are mainly satisfied with
reablement where VCT has been applied. From an employer’s perspective, one should take into
account that not everybody among the care personnel will be positive towards this type of service,
although many studies also show relatively high satisfaction in the aforementioned group. It is
essential that necessary support and training is provided to patients and care personnel before
municipalities establish such services.
Conclusion: More municipalities should try out VCT in the context of reablement / telerehabilitation.
More research is needed to determine whether this type of service will function equally well in
Norway, as one has experienced abroad.
