"Jag har inget problem i att vara själv" : Äldre personers upplevelse av restrtiktionerna under Covid-19-pandemin.

This study examines how older people in Sweden experience life during the restrictions following the Covid-19 pandemic. Six elderly people were interviewed and the transcriptions were analyzed using a qualitative research method. The study showed that the restrictions have not yet led to any deterioration in well-being, but the majority of the group felt that the restrictions had affected their life situation in a negative way. The group had to limit social contacts and minimize visits from loved ones during the pandemic. Active life was also set aside due to the restrictions, which was perceived negatively by the respondents. The results are in line with previous research which shows that elderly people experience dissatisfaction with social isolation that resulted from the Covid-19 restrictions, but it turned out that the respondents seemed to have a strong safety net and strong resilience as they adapted well to the social restrictions
