Abstract THE 24TH NORDIC CONGRESS OF GERONTOLOGY OSLO, NORWAY • 2-4 MAY 2018

Abstract Background

In end of life, the older persons´ experiences of dignity can be affected due to serious illness and life changes, derived from physical, psychological, social and existential dimension. Loss of dignity impact the persons´ will to live. The Dignity Care Intervention (DCI) was developed and tested in Scotland and Ireland, to enhance dignity of older persons with palliative care needs, by nurses in municipality care. DCI consists a patient dignity inventory, reflective questions and examples of evidence-based care actions.

The aim was to develop and adapt the DCI to a Swedish context.

Methods

The process of developing and adapting the DCI consisted of 1) translating and adapting the patient dignity inventory including expert panel and cognitive interviews, 2) a literature review and

interviews with older persons, relatives and health care professionals gathering culturally relevant dignity conserving care actions.

Research results

The patient dignity inventory was overall accepted by older persons in home care, however some changes in the wording were performed. The Swedish care actions reflected mostly earlier care actions described in the original version. However some more care actions derived in some of the categories in the Swedish DCI (DCI-SWE) e.g. “social support”, and some less care actions derived for example in the category “aftermath concerns”. In DCI-SWE general care actions like e.g. to show respect were concretized unlike the original DCI.

Conclusions

The DCI-SWE has prospects to enhance older persons´ dignity, and is now tested in a feasibility study by twelve nurses in home care.
