- Abstract
- The object of this paper was to explore the perspective of personal treatment in elderly care. We compared the view of personal treatment between nursing staff and service users in elderly care.

We chose to select our group of service users and nursing staff by contacting a head of the unit within home care service and let her select suitable interview subjects. The nursing staff we chose to interview in group to derive ideas and interesting discussions and the service users we chose to interview separately with the motivation that we wanted to avoid time pressure that might would distract them. Our purpose was to explore the view on personal treatment and see if ageism and inequality of power would reflect on the answers. Our study showed that ageism and power is a everyday matter in elderly care. The nursing staff were aware of the service users dependency but the service users gave the impression of not recognizing the inequality. The nursing staff also had ideas of what a service user of home care service needs and they meant that an individually perspective was important in elderly care. Although the good intentions of the nursing staff we could see that preconceptions sometimes were used as a standard instead of listening to the service user. (Less)
