Abstract [sv]

Syftet: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka äldreomsorgen för utrikesfödda i Skandinavien. Frågorna som ställdes i studien var hur kultur samt språkbarriärer påverkar omsorgen för äldre utrikesfödda men även frågan hur äldreomsorgen upplevs från äldreutrikesfödda, anhöriga samt äldreomsorgspersonalens perspektiv. Metod: Denna litteraturstudie har använt sig av åtta artiklar som är peer reviewed för att besvara frågeställningarna. Huvudresultat: Litteraturens resultat har påvisat att äldre utrikesfödda inte får samma adekvata äldreomsorg då äldreomsorgen inte är utformad för kulturella och språkliga skillnader. Det skiljer sig åt i olika kulturer hur man ska tillgodose sina äldres behov eftersom vissa kulturer anser att det är skamfyllt att lämna över omsorgen av sina äldre anhöriga till den sociala äldreomsorgen.

Abstract [en]

The aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how elderly care is carried out in Scandinavia. The questions that were asked in the study were how culture and language barriers affect the care for elderly immigrants but also the question how elderly care is experienced by the elderly, their relatives, and the staff. Method: This literature study has used eight articles that are peer-reviewed to answer the study’s questions. Main results: The study’s outcome have shown that elderly immigrants are not receiving adequate elderly care because the elderly care is not designed for cultural and language disparities. It also differs in different cultures on how to take care of the needs of the elderly, as some cultures consider it shameful to hand over their elderly relatives to elderly care.
