Reliable quality - Comparison between public and private elderly care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Under början av 1990-talet infördes reformer som än idag påverkar svensk äldreomsorg. Dessa reformer föranledde till stora förändringar i den offentliga sektorn, där privatiseringen av offentliga tjänster är en del av resultatet. I nästan tre decennier har resultatet av dessa reformer varit väl omdiskuterade i både politiska sammanhang och samhället, där äldreomsorgen är en av de stora reformerna som diskuteras.

Föreliggande studie jämför och analyserar tillförlitlig kvalitet på given vård i äldreomsorgen mellan den offentliga och privata sektorn eftersom den privata sektorn ibland har ett vinstintresse, vilket den offentliga sektorn saknar. Syftet med studien var att jämföra och analysera hur chefer uppfattar möjligheten att ge tillförlitlig kvalitet i verksamheten. Arbetet i den dagliga verksamheten utförs av chefer och medarbetare tillsammans, vilket föranledde att det i studien intervjuades åtta chefer på äldreboenden i Sverige, där fyra chefer från respektive offentlig eller privat given äldrevård utgjorde studiens empiriska material. Intervjufrågorna var konstruerade utifrån studiens analysmodell som bygger på karaktäristiska egenskaper för organisationer med hög tillförlitlighet.

Föreliggande studie visar att cheferna i både den offentliga och privata sektorn uppfattar, utifrån de förutsättningar som finns i äldreomsorgen, möjlighet till tillförlitlig kvalitet. Dock visar resultatet av studien att det finns brister i den tillförlitliga kvaliteten. Studiens vetenskapliga bidrag visar på kvaliteten utifrån de förutsättningar som chefer har att ge en tillförlitlig kvalitet i äldreomsorgen.

Abstract [en]

During the start of the 1990´s reforms were introduced that to this day affect Swedish elderly care. These reforms brought forth large alterations in the public sector where in multiple, previously public services were privatized. In the following three decades have these reforms been regularly discussed in both political contexts and society, where the reforms of the elderly care have been prominent.

This study compares and analyze reliable quality of administrated care of elderly between the public and private sectors, because of the private sector´s common profit orientation, which the public sector does not have. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze how management perceive the opportunity to give reliable quality within the organization. Operational labor is performed by both management and coworkers together which resulted in eight managers within the Swedish elderly care being interviewed wherein four worked in the public sector and private, respectively. These interviews became the empirical basis for the study. The interview questions were constructed using the studies analytical model which is based on characteristic properties within organization with high reliability.

The result of this study shows that managers in both the public and private sectors perceive the possibility of reliable quality based on the conditions that exist in elderly care. However, the results of the study show that there are shortcomings in the reliable quality. The study´s scientific contribution indicates the quality based on the conditions that managers have to provide a reliable quality in elderly care.
