Sammanfattning

Background: In 2016, Harstad municipality decided to initiate a process for getting Bergsodden nursing home certified as a «livsgledehjem». We chose to follow this nursing home, which is a new and modern nursing home that was put into use in october 2014. The building is located outside the town center, idyllically on the seaside with a large outdoor area. The nursing home has 72 residents in different departements. One of them is designed for demented residents. Aim: The aim was to follow a certification process as a way to improve the quality of environmental work. How did the process proceed and how did the employees and management team handle the work of being certified as a « livsgledehjem»? What «lifestyle changes» was possible to identify underway in the p r o ce s s? Method: Data is based on observation studies by the management team’s meetings that led to the nursing home being certified as a « livsgledehjem». We have also used an interview with employees obtained by bachelor students as part of their final exam. These data have made a secondary analysis of. Findings: Despite several simultaneous processes and great skepticism among employees throughout the process, the management team succeeds in introducing «livsglede» (life happiness) as a new system tool. Conclusion: There are positive changes in the certification process, but systemic conditions make it challenging to have the same focus on the joy of life for the individual resident.
