Theatre as a tool for nurses to promote safe medication use among older adults living at home
Kort beskrivelse av prosjektet
Ensuring safe and effective medication management for older adults living at home is a key challenge for home care services, which face increasing pressure due to demographic changes, shorter hospital stays, and a shortage of skilled healthcare personnel. This project explores the challenges that homecare nurses encounter in medication management practice and investigates how Applied Theatre methods can facilitate more personalized and safer medication management for this patient group. By centering nurses’ experiences and employing a participatory design approach, the project seeks to develop targeted strategies that can reduce medication-related errors. It has three sub studies, involving homecare nurses as informants through individual Interviews, theatre-based workshops, and focus group discussions. The project represents one of four work packages in the research project "MedSafe-Old: Ensuring medication safety for older recipients of municipal home care services".
