Background: The in-home work environment is the main work environment for home care workers, but it has only been sparsely studied. Our aim was to investigate the in-home work environment for home care workers by exploring challenges that arise regardless of a pandemic and by investigating Covid-19-specific challenges.
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were conducted, one before (2017) and one during the pandemic (2021/2022) in three Swedish regions (Jämtland/Härjedalen, Västerbotten and Västernorrland), in which 1,154 (58%) out of 2,000 and 629 (33%) of 1,900 invited home care workers participated, respectively.
