Summary

The aim of this study was to examine if the intervention "Health and Life in Balance", was acceptable, feasible and if the intervention needed further development.

Health and Life in Balance is an intervention for patients 65 years and older, with 2 or more chronic diseases, and an increased care need. It involved for the patient to meet with a district nurse during 1-2 meetings to set up a care plan and then have scheduled follow-ups during 6 months. During the 1-2 meetings they went through ICAN discussion aid to discuss aspects of capacity and workload in the patient's life and healthcare. The district nurse and the patient's GP had improved communication during the intervention period.

Researchers will collect data from the patient's medical records, from questionnaires and from interviews with patients and health care providers.

Data will be analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and finally a mixed methods approach.

No drugs or devices are included in this study.
