25. Individually tailored physical and daily activities for residents in nursing home settings : a Scandinavian multi-centre study
Abstract : The overall purpose of this thesis was to describe the impact of an individually tailored intervention programme, in nursing home settings, on physical capacity, degree of dependence in activities of daily living (ADL), long-term participation in physical and/or daily activities, and self-rated well-being. The different aims were: to present the rationale and design of the study to describe the levels of physical and cognitive function, dependence in ADL, and degree of well-being of the participants at baseline to investigate the feasibility of measuring muscle strength, mobility, balance function, dependence in ADL, physical activity level, and cognitive function in elderly nursing home residents, and also to detect any correlations between these measurements to describe the effect of three months of individually tailored physical and daily activities for elderly nursing home residents on muscle strength, mobility, balance function, fall-related self-efficacy, dependence in ADL, and physical activity level to evaluate the long-term effects, within and between groups, on well-being, cognitive function, mobility, dependence in ADL, physical activity level, and different dimensions of physical function three months after the intervention was completed.
