| description | Abstract Old age is the leading cause of impaired bodily function, which gradually increases healthcare service needs. To offer the best possible care in the home and to be able to detect health‐related functional impairment at an early stage, it is necessary to carry out systematic and structured observations. The assessment tool Subacute and Acute Dysfunction in the Elderly (SAFE) has been developed explicitly for these structured observations. This study aims to explore the experiences and challenges of home‐based care work team coordinators (WTCs) regarding the introduction and use of SAFE. Method The present qualitative study was performed following Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines. The data were collected through individual interviews (n = 3) and focus group (FG) interviews (n = 7). The interview transcripts were analysed using the Gioia method. Results Five aggregated dimensions were identified: Varying acceptance of SAFE, Structuring and quality‐assurance of home‐based nursing practice, Obstacles for the integration of SAFE in daily practice, Acceptance and use of SAFE require continuous supervision and SAFE contributes to increased quality of nursing care. Conclusion The introduction of SAFE contributes to a structured follow‐up of functional status in patients receiving home care. In order to incorporate the tool into home care practice, it is essential to set aside time to introduce the tool and to support nurses' use of it by offering continuous supervision. |
