Tiivistelmä
This study was a pilot study conducted in order to find out nurse’s perspective about the way health care services for the unemployed are organized in Central Finland’s Health Care District. The purpose was to provide information for further studies and possibly improve the health check-ups for unemployed. The research tried to found out how the health check-ups for unemployed were organized, and the influence of earlier projects to the services for unemployed.
The study was a qualitative research, and it was carried out by in-depth interview. One public health nurse with four years working experience with unemployed health check-ups was interviewed.
Results indicate that Wire-project had influenced the structure of unemployed health check-ups. Additional education considering the health of unemployed would be needed, and occupational health nurse specialist studies would meet the needs of assessing health of unemployed. Time and employee resources were challenging in the work, but on the other hand working conditions and equipment were sufficient.
