Home Care Nurses' Experiences of the Use and Introduction of the Subacute Functional Decline in the Elderly Instrument.

Introduction: Registered nurses are crucial in home care nursing for elderly patients, as detecting geriatric conditions can be difficult due to age-related changes or communication barriers. Disability is often overlooked in elderly care, requiring different assessment tools to determine patient status and necessary nursing interventions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the subacute functional decline in the elderly (SAFE) instrument was implemented in some Oslo districts to detect early signs of sub acute functional decline in hospital and home care settings.

Experiences and challenges of the use Subacute and Acute Dysfunction in the Elderly-SAFE Work team coordinators experiences and challenges in the introduction and use of SAFE of in home-based nursing: A qualitative study from the Norwegian context.

Unlabelled: Old age is the leading cause of impaired bodily function, which gradually increases healthcare service needs. To offer the best possible care in the home and to be able to detect health-related functional impairment at an early stage, it is necessary to carry out systematic and structured observations. The assessment tool Subacute and Acute Dysfunction in the Elderly (SAFE) has been developed explicitly for these structured observations.
