Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As designs of existing outcome studies are disparate and do not always relate well to a Swedish context, the need for further studies is obvious. Also, an empirical theory drawn from the best practice supporting autonomy and wellbeing for clients in a nursing home setting has not yet been fully depicted. The study described below intends to fill a gap in knowledge related to the effect of enhanced activities of daily living (ADL)-training, physical, and daily activities and staff education in a nursing home setting, based on a theory- and evidence-based intervention programme in a Swedish as well as a Nordic health care context. The aims of the study are to describe the impact of an individually tailored intervention program, in a nursing home setting, on:

* Physical capacity
* Degree of dependence in ADL
* Long-term participation in physical and/or daily activities
* Self-rated wellbeing

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Trondheim study has additional aims to assess the impact of intervention on:

* Urinary incontinence
* Falls
