| Popis: | This article explores the home care nurses' perceptions on the services they provide in Cyprus, which has been hit by a financial crisis. Semistructured interviews were conducted in Greek at the home care nurses' offices. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The participants' perceptions are described in terms of provision of home care nursing, administration of homecare nursing, job satisfaction, financial issues, and suggesting improvements. The financial crisis influences the home care services with regard to workload increase, staff shortage, and lack of resources. Home care nurses are well engaged in the provision of proper services in order to address the patients' needs. However, the financial crisis has set obstacles in the provision of care. |
