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.
