Popis: | The purpose of this longitudinal study was to explore perspectives, needs, and expectations of residents (N = 6) and family members (N = 3) of the resident's first year in a long-term care facility. The narrative method and a semi-structured interview guide were used to obtain participants' views at 2 and 6 weeks, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after admission. During data analysis, six themes emerged, which suggest implications for gerontological nursing education and practice. The authors conclude that by listening to residents and family members, nurses can use this information to improve life for residents and dignify them as individuals. |
