Sisällön kuvaus

The survey examined the needs and experiences of Finnish seniors aged over 75 concerning different types of services. The study was conducted in the cities of Jyväskylä and Tampere, and the study was funded by the Academy of Finland.

First, the respondents' housing circumstances were charted as well as how frequently the respondents were in contact with their relatives and friends. They were enquired about difficulties in everyday life and who provided them with help regarding these difficulties (e.g. transportation, groceries, banking, cooking meals, going to the bathroom). Different types of assistive devices used by the respondents were also examined (e.g. cane, crutches, wheelchair, hearing aid, medical alert button). The respondents were also asked to assess the sufficiency of help received as well as reasons for not receiving sufficient help. Additionally, it was charted whether the respondents themselves provided different types of help or care to a relative or friend.

The respondents' views were also enquired on the development of social welfare and health care services within the previous ten years. Different types of services used by the respondents (e.g. meals, cleaning, sauna/bathing, assistive devices, transportation) were examined with regard to who provided these services to the respondents and whether the respondents were satisfied with their cost, reliability and quality. The respondents were also asked how they funded the use of these services and what their reasons were for using or not using private services. Opinions on whether some types of services should be provided more were also charted. Finally, the respondents' state of health was examined by asking them about possible diseases, disabilities, and memory difficulties.

Background variables included gender, age, marital status, type of neighbourhood, household composition, number of living children (sons and daughters), number of living siblings, education, and household income.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Open-ended responses were categorised by researchers in variables k17 and k22. Respondents over 90 years old were categorised into a single category in variable k3. Likewise, the number of sons and daughters was top-coded in variables k5_1 and k5_2 (4 and over) as well as those with more than 5 siblings in variable k6. Additionally, in variable k4 (marital status), respondents living in registered partnership were categorised together with those in marriage. Variable bv1 (municipality of residence) was created at FSD.

Some open-ended responses of the type "other, please specify" were removed [k8, k9, k10, k16, k19, k31, k34 and k35].
