详细描述
In Finland, the aim is to reduce the institutional care of older people and caring them in their own homes. The goal of shifting the focus of services to open services is difficult to implement if the health of the caregivers is inadequate. In order to achieve this goal, it is important to influence the health and performance of caregivers. Information is needed to support this, among others, about how the nutrition and oral health of caregivers can be promoted and to what extent this affects the performance and quality of life of their clients. A randomly of 220 caregivers over 65 years old and their clients is selected for this study. The caregivers are randomized to either treatment or control groups. At the beginning of the study is estimated the nutritional status and oral health of the caregivers. Based on the results, the nutritionist and dental hygienist give individual advice to optimize the nutrition and oral health of the caregivers in the intervention group. After six months, the same measurements are made as at the beginning of the study. Monitoring measurements will be made one year after the start of the intervention. The results of this project provide information on the health, well-being, and ability to the function of the caregivers. Based on the results, is developed an operating model that is intended to be wide as use as possible. Improving the nutrition and oral health of caregivers has a significant impact on their own and their clients health and well-being as well as the long-term care costs presumably.
