There is expected to be an increased need for full time nursing homes as the increase in number of older adults increases and the rate of dementia diagnosis happens simultaneous with the decrees of healthcare personnel the years to come. A lift in knowledge is needed to provide a better and more efficient healthcare to be better equipped to meet this societal challenge. Physical activity and sleep are important indicators of health, but also on effect of treatment and care for this frail population. Comprehensive mapping of personnel time spent on different tasks and older adults' physical function throughout a week gives a unique opportunity to gain new knowledge about everyday life in nursing homes. The main aim of this project is to describe associations between physical behavior, sleep and symptoms in residents in nursing homes in Trondheim Municipality and combine these with personnel time spent on different working tasks.
