    Cost containment, solidarity and cautious experimentation: Swedish dilemmas2001In: Social Science and Medicine, ISSN 0277-9536, E-ISSN 1873-5347, Vol. 52, no 8, p. 1195-1204Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

     This paper uses secondary data analysis and a literature review to explore a "Swedish Dilemma": Can Sweden continue to provide a high level of comprehensive health services for all regardless of ability to pay - a policy emphasizing "solidarity" - or must it decide to impose increasing constraints on health services spending and service delivery - a policy emphasizing "cost containment?" It examines recent: policies and longer term trends including: changes in health personnel and facilities, integration of health and social services for older persons; introduction of competition among providers; cost sharing for patients; dismantling of dental insurance; decentralization of government responsibility; priority settings for treatment; and encouragement of the private sector. It is apparent that the Swedes have had considerable success in attaining cost containment - not primarily through "market mechanisms" but through government budget controls and service reduction. Further, it appears that equal access to care, or solidarity, may be adversely affected by some of the system changes.

    A two-wave interview study of frequency of dental visits and dental complaints1979In: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, ISSN 0301-5661, E-ISSN 1600-0528, Vol. 7, no 3, p. 128-32Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A panel of 268 persons were interviewed twice at an interval of 2 years concerning their visits to dentists and their dental status. The answers they gave on the two occasions agreed well, except for the year of the last visit if it had taken place long ago. This was true both for the people who had gone to the dentist between the interviews and for those who had not. The panel was also asked whether they had any dental complaints. Sixteen percent of them reported complaints at one or both interviews. Complaints were more common among persons who did not often go to the dentist. The persons with complaints did not always get rid of them by going to a dentist. It is concluded that interview data be used for investigating the dental health and behavior of people who do not often go to the dentist, and that dentists are more successful in maintaining good dental health in people who have no dental complaints than in people who report having complaints.

    Antidepressant-treated patients in ambulatory care long-term use of non-psychotropic and psychotropic drugs1996In: British Journal of Psychiatry, ISSN 0007-1250, E-ISSN 1472-1465, Vol. 168, no 3, p. 292-98Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    Background. Despite the problems involved in treating depression and concomitant medical disease, there are virtually no longitudinal studies on drug utilisation among depressed patients.

    Method

    Use of prescription drugs among all first-time users of antidepressants in a defined population five years before and six years after the index (first) treatment was compared to a referent group without antidepressant treatment. The generalised estimating equations (GEE) method was used for analysis.

    Results

    The antidepressant-treated group used considerably more non-psychotropic drugs during the whole study period than the referent group. They also used more psychotropic drugs, a use which increased in connection with the initiation of antidepressant treatment, and stayed high for a further five years.

    Conclusions

    The high use of prescription drugs indicated widespread somatic and psychiatric health problems during the whole study period. Antidepressant-treated patients are at risk for drug interactions and adverse effects, and would benefit from a closer collaboration between psychiatry and medicine.

    Antidepressant-treated patients in ambulatory care: Mortality during a nine-year period after first treatment1996In: British Journal of Psychiatry, ISSN 0007-1250, E-ISSN 1472-1465, Vol. 169, no 5, p. 647-54Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND

    Non-institutionalised patients treated with antidepressants have been shown to have indicators of a generalised vulnerability, such as high rates of health service use and excessive prescription drug use. Therefore, mortality in this patient group is of interest.

    METHOD

    All first-incidence antidepressant users in a defined population during a five-year period were identified. Their total mortality during a nine-year follow-up was analysed. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyse total mortality, and mortality in cardiovascular disease, controlling for baseline chronic medical disease.

    RESULTS

    Antidepressant treatment at the index date was a statistically significant predictor for increased long-term mortality in the over-65s, even when controlling for pre-existing chronic medical disease. Baseline ischaemic heart disease and concurrent antidepressant treatment significantly predicted mortality from cardiovascular causes.

    CONCLUSION

    Prescribed antidepressant treatment identifies patients who are at risk of increased mortality. For the physician in ambulatory care, knowledge of a patient's antidepressant treatment history may be a valuable tool in managing patient care.

    Prescription drug and healthcare use among Swedish patients treated with antidepressants1995In: The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, ISSN 1060-0280, E-ISSN 1542-6270, Vol. 29, no 6, p. 566-72Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    OBJECTIVE:

    To analyze healthcare and prescription drug use among patients taking and those not taking antidepressant drugs in a Swedish community.

    DESIGN:

    Cross-sectional study.

    SETTING:

    General population of the rural Swedish municipality Tierp of approximately 20,000 inhabitants.

    PARTICIPANTS:

    All residents of Tierp aged 25 years or older during 1988.

    MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

    Mean number of ambulatory care visits, hospital bed days, and prescriptions per person; proportion of those taking prescription drugs in different pharmacologic classes.

    RESULTS:

    Patients treated with antidepressant drugs had a significantly (p < 0.05) greater use of ambulatory care, hospital care, and prescription drugs than those who did not take antidepressants in the study population. They also had an increased frequency of use of prescription drugs from virtually all pharmacologic classes. Furthermore, the risk for polypharmacy was high in patients treated with antidepressant medications.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    Those who took antidepressant drugs consumed more health services and prescription drugs than did those not taking an antidepressant. Patients receiving antidepressant treatment may be at serious risk for iatrogenic disease and should be evaluated carefully with respect to concomitant drug use.

    A review of 106 nursing records from 12 wards was conducted to categorize and quantify the content of the documentation and to consider the comprehensiveness of the recording for individual nursing problems. Audit instruments, based on a model for nursing documentation were developed and applied. The results show that admission assessment was missing in slightly less than half of all records, two-thirds had no nursing care plan and about one-third had no documentation on nursing outcome. About 90% of the records had no nursing diagnosis, no objective or no nursing discharge note. Notes on nursing status and nursing interventions were most common. Only one-third of the nursing problems identified had recording that gave information about the progress of the patient's problem. The analyses performed give information on the quality of nursing records which may be used to evaluate the quality of nursing care.

    Patient satisfaction surveys subsequent to hospital care: Problems of sampling, non-response and other losses1993In: International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care / ISQA, ISSN 1040-6166, Vol. 5, no 1, p. 19-32Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Patient questionnaires are commonly used to assess patient satisfaction. This study reports on methodological experiences based on practical use of a Swedish questionnaire. The material consists of questionnaires from five different studies at some 60 wards in three hospitals. Four of the studies were performed by "routine procedure", while one was performed specially to study sampling, non-response and other losses. The results showed that a large number of patients were not given a questionnaire despite the fact that they should have been included according to the sampling criteria. In the special study barely half of those discharged answered a questionnaire corresponding to only about one in four in some studies performed routinely. Many of the patients excluded were probably in a difficult situation and their needs ought to be particularly noticed. This was true of patients who were old or confused, had language difficulties, were seriously ill, or who died during the care episode.

    Auditing nursing content in patient records2001In: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, ISSN 0283-9318, E-ISSN 1471-6712, Vol. 15, no 2, p. 133-41Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The objective of this paper is twofold: (a) to explore different approaches in reviewing records based on a literature review of studies of audits of patient records and (b) to apply these approaches on a sample of records to illuminate consequences of their application.

    The method used was a literature review of papers on recording of nursing care (n=56). Based on our findings, an audit of a stratified sample of records (n=298) from Swedish community health care and nursing homes was performed, applying the different approaches for auditing previously described in the literature.

    The review showed that audits of patient records were performed using four different approaches with varying aims. The focus of the four approaches can be described as formal structure, process comprehensiveness, knowledge-based and concordance with actual care. The results of this study suggest that audits of patient records should not be solely limited to encompass the formal structure of recording. To avoid a superficial picture or a false sense of high quality and to obtain a more complete and reliable portrait of the quality of recording, we suggest the process comprehensiveness approach in combination with a critical review of the knowledge base for the assessment, diagnosis and interventions of patient records.
