Healthcare Service Use

Aims: Both survey and healthcare register data struggle as data sources to capture the phenomenon of alcohol problems. We study a large group of people for whom survey data and two types of register data are available, and examine the overlaps of similar or related measures in the different data sources to learn about potential weaknesses in each. We also examine how register-based data on the prevalence of alcohol problems change depending on which register data are used. Design: We use data from the Regional Health and Wellbeing Study (ATH) of the adult Finnish population collected in 2013 and 2014 ( n = 69,441), individually linked with data on two national healthcare registers (Care Register for Health Care; Register of Primary Health Care visits) for the survey year and previous year. Results: The prevalence of substance-abuse-related healthcare was almost two-fold if data on outpatient primary care visits were included in addition to hospitalisations. Forty-six per cent of the survey respondents self-reporting substance-abuse-related healthcare service use were identified in the registers, and 22% of all respondents with such service use according to registers reported this in the survey. Records of substance-abuse-related healthcare service use, controlled for self-reported alcohol use and self-reported substance-abuse-related service use, were found more often for men, the middle-aged, people with basic education only, and the non-employed. Conclusions: The results are suggestive of underreporting in both data sources. There is an evident need to develop recording practices in the healthcare registers regarding substance use disorders.

Website Content

Most people prefer to age in place. However, there is a growing body of literature to suggest a reluctance to accept supportive services in the home due to concerns about trust, privacy, cost, and fear of being a burden. The purpose of this study was to examine potential facilitators and barriers to accepting home care services in the website content of Licensed Home Care Service Agencies (LHSCA). In this linguistic analysis study, the written content from 88 randomly selected LHCSA websites was examined. We used LIWC2015 and Microsoft® Word software to analyze websites for relevant word categories that reflect older adult identified facilitators and barriers to the acceptance of home care services. Results revealed that the summary score for clout (i.e., confidence and leadership reflected in the writing) was high. Some of the most commonly used word categories were positive emotions, present focused, and affiliation. The word category money was included, but to a lesser degree. However, Burden and related words were highly prevalent in the writing sample. In summary, LHCSA website content contains both facilitators and barriers to the acceptance of home care services. Given the importance of home care services in promoting the ability of older adults to age in place, greater attention may be needed regarding the way services are presented and advertised to consumers.
