They also pose major challenges for health and social care. At the same time, research shows that many risk factors for cognitive decline can, in fact, be influenced. This is particularly the case when several areas are addressed simultaneously, such as physical activity, healthy eating habits, mental stimulation, social connectedness, and good cardiovascular health. A well-known model for such a multidomain preventive intervention is the FINGER model: the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability. In the randomized controlled FINGER study, the results showed that a two-year programme comprising diet, exercise, cognitive training, social activity, and structured monitoring of vascular risk factors could improve and maintain cognitive function among older people at increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the research evidence is not unequivocal. Other randomized studies found no effect on cognitive outcomes over three years in the studied population, and in a cluster-randomized study reported no clear effects on the incidence of dementia in the older population. In addition, studies are needed that follow changes when the model is implemented in clinical practice. In recent years, the FINGER model has also been adapted and tested in several countries through the FINGER network, with the aim of developing and evaluating interventions that work in different contexts, while also strengthening knowledge and enabling comparisons of results between countries. A recently published qualitative study showed that participants were often motivated by an expectation of personal benefit, both for brain health and physical health, but also by concerns about cognitive decline. Social aspects also played an important role, as did the need for the interventions to feel understandable and for lifestyle changes to be perceived as realistic and feasible in everyday life.\n\nThe overall aim of the project is to evaluate a municipality-initiated, health-promoting multicomponent programme, based on the FINGER model, for older people, with a focus on health, health-related quality of life, well-being, and lifestyle habits (group A), and to compare it with a programme with fewer components (group B) implemented in the municipality. Furthermore, the aim is to explore older people's experiences of participating in the project, as well as how older people in the study rate their health and well-being before, during, and after completing their participation in the project.\n\nThe main research questions are:\n\n* How do older people rate their health, health-related quality of life, well-being, and lifestyle habits before, during, and after participation in the municipality's project (groups A and B)?\n* What cognitive and physical functional ability do older people have before, during, and after participation in the municipality's project (group A)?\n* Are there any differences over time within each group (A and B), and are there any differences over time between the groups in the project?\n* Do self-rated health and health-related quality of life in this study population differ from the values reported in a previously published study?\n* How do older people experience participating in the project (group A)?",[26],"Older People",[28,29,30,31,32,33],"Physical activity","Health","health-related quality of life","well-being","lifestyle habits","cognitive and physical functional ability","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-16",{"date":37,"type":38},"2026-06-22","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":20},"2026-06-01",{"date":42,"type":20},"2028-03-31",{"name":44,"class":45},"University of Gavle","OTHER",1,{"id":48,"slug":49,"hasResults":11,"nctId":50,"briefTitle":51,"officialTitle":52,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":4,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":54,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":56,"phases":4,"briefSummary":57,"conditions":58,"keywords":60,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":65,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":66,"startDateStruct":68,"completionDateStruct":70,"leadSponsor":72,"locationsCount":46},"100632928","shortened-working-hours-for-nurses-in-elderly-care-and-municipal-home-care---work-environment-work-life-balance--well-being-100632928","NCT07520058","Shortened Working Hours for Nurses in Elderly Care and Municipal Home Care - Work Environment, Work-life Balance & Well-being","Shortened Working Hours for Registered Nurses in Elderly Care and Municipal Home Care - How is it Linked to Nurse-rated Work Environment, Work-life Balance and Well-being?","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Registered nurses working in elderly care or in municipal home care.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Registered nurses on long-term leave.",{"count":55,"type":20},190,"OBSERVATIONAL","Elderly care and municipal home care have and are facing several challenges with an increasing number of elderly people and fewer people of working age.

The number of older people is increasing at the same time as there are fewer of working age. Elderly care staff, such as nurses, care assistants and nurses, have on average more sick days than many other professional groups and often experience high work-related stress. In some municipalities, there are also problems with high staff turnover and a lack of formal competence. At the same time, research shows that many employees experience work in elderly care as meaningful and valuable. Taking advantage of and strengthening these positive aspects is central to creating good conditions for the health and well-being of staff and for the quality of care and care for older people. An important area of development in elderly care is person-centred care, which means that care is based on the individual person's needs, wishes, life history and resources. Person-centred practice emphasises the relationship between the older person, the staff and, if the person so wishes, relatives. Although person-centered care is often seen as an obvious part of good care, research shows that it is not fully implemented in practice and that the introduction of person-centered working methods can be complex and demanding.\n\nThis study is being carried out in collaboration between municipalities and the University of Gävle and is linked to the establishment of nursing homes for the elderly that will function as academic nursing homes. In these nursing homes, person-centered care will be a pronounced focus area. Through recurring measurements, the activities will be monitored and developed in close collaboration between practice and research. The overall aim of the study is to investigate older people's experience of academic nursing homes with a focus on person-centered care and nursing, outdoor environment, health and well-being, and to investigate the staff's experience of person-centered working methods, learning, structural conditions and work-related well-being. The study also aims to analyze the relationship between older people's experiences of person-centered care, outdoor environment, health and well-being, both among older people living in academic nursing homes and among older people living in their own homes. The study has a longitudinal design and data will be collected at several points in time using questionnaires and interviews, which enables both statistical analyses and an in-depth understanding of the participants' experiences over time. By highlighting the perspectives of both older people and staff, the study can contribute new knowledge about how person-centered care can be developed and maintained in practice. In the long term, the results can contribute to a more health-promoting, sustainable and attractive elderly care for both older people and staff.",[84,85,29,86,87,88,89,26,90],"Person-Centred Care","Well Being","Environment","Work-related Well-being","Structural Conditions","Learning Development","Staff Working in Nursing Homes",[92,93,94,95],"person-centered care","elderly care","work-related well-being","health","2026-03-30",{"date":98,"type":38},"2026-04-02",{"date":100,"type":20},"2026-04-01",{"date":102,"type":20},"2028-12-31",{"name":44,"class":45},{"id":105,"slug":106,"hasResults":11,"nctId":107,"briefTitle":108,"officialTitle":108,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":109,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":110,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":111,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":56,"phases":4,"briefSummary":113,"conditions":114,"keywords":117,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":119,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":120,"startDateStruct":122,"completionDateStruct":123,"leadSponsor":125,"locationsCount":46},"100631705","elderly-care-in-transition---the-older-persons-and-the-staffs-perspective-100631705","NCT07504159","Elderly Care in Transition - the Older Persons' and the Staff's Perspective","Inclusion Criteria - older people:\n\n* age 70+\n* having home care and\n* able to respond to a survey.\n\nExclusion Criteria - older people:\n\n* those with only food distribution and\u002For\n* those with only alarms.\n\nInclusion Criteria - staff:\n\n\\- home care staff in the two municipalities, no age limits for the staff.\n\nExclusion Criteria - staff:\n\n* those on leave and\n* those on short-term\u002Fhourly employees.","70 Years",{"count":112,"type":20},1980,"Elderly care has and is facing several challenges with an increasing number of older people and fewer of working age.
