Brief Summary

The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the effects, meaning and significance of a person-centred and thriving promoting model for residential aged care in Australia, Norway and Sweden. More specifically, the following research questions will be explored:

1. 1.Can a person-centred and thriving promoting care model increase residents' thriving, and have a positive impact on residents' perception of the caring environment?
2. 2.Can a person-centred and thriving promoting care model increase relatives' satisfaction with care, and have a positive impact on their experience of visiting their relative, and perception of the caring environment?
3. 3.Can a person-centred and thriving promoting care model increase staff's job satisfaction, decrease stress of conscience, and have a positive impact on their perception of the caring environment and person-centred care?
4. 4.What meaning and significance do relatives and staff ascribe to the intervention? The study is designed as a multi-centre, controlled group before-after design with participating sites in Victoria (Australia), Oslo (Norway) and Västerbotten (Sweden). Two residential aged care facilities at each site will be allocated to either intervention or control, in total three intervention and three control facilities divided over the three sites.
