چکیده انگلیسی


- Understandings of functional ability differ between nurses and long-term care residents.
- Public discourse is especially reflected in nurses' talk about functional ability.
- Residents view their functional ability in relation to their life course and coping.
- Residents position themselves as active persons-not only as care receivers.
- Understanding different views of functional ability can contribute to better care.

The functional ability of older people has come to play a significant role in their care. Policies and public debate promote active aging and the need to maintain functioning in old age, including among older people living in long-term care. This study explores the meanings given to functional ability in the interview talk of long-term care nurses (n = 24) and older people living in long-term care (n = 16). The study is based on discourse analysis and positioning theory.In this study, accounts of functioning differed between nurses and older residents. For the nurses, functional ability was about the basic functions of everyday life, and they often used formal and theoretical language, whereas for older long-term care residents, functional ability was a more versatile concept. Being active was promoted, particularly in the nurses' talk but also sometimes in residents' talk, thereby reflecting the public discourse about functioning. In their talk, the nurses positioned themselves in relation to functional ability as competent professionals and active caregivers. In residents' talk, we found three positions: an active individual taking care of him or herself, a recipient of help, and a burden to nurses. To move in a direction that promotes activity and rehabilitative care, a better understanding of older people's individual needs and their own views of functional ability is needed.
