Abstract

This article explores the experiences of hospitalised older adults concerning the care they receive from family carers. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, alongside semi-structured interviews, data were gathered from eight older adults admitted to a teaching hospital in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The nature of care received by older adults and their attitudes towards it emerged as the two overarching themes identified from the data. Given the dissatisfaction levels with the care provided to older adults and the importance of familial support for them, implementing interventions that foster collaboration between the state and families to offer supportive services for older adults and their carers could enhance satisfaction with care and contribute to the sustainability of long-term care for older adults.

探索护理经验和满意度：对住院老年人的描述性定性研究

本文探讨了住院老年人从家庭照顾者那里获得的护理经验。文章采用描述性定性方法，通过半结构式访谈，从加纳阿散蒂地区一家教学医院的八名住院老年人那里收集了数据。老年人接受护理的性质和他们对护理的态度成为从数据中发现的两大主题。鉴于老年人对所提供护理的不满意程度以及家庭支持对老年人的重要性，实施干预措施，促进国家与家庭之间的合作，为老年人及其护理者提供支持性服务，可以提高老年人对护理的满意度，并有助于老年人长期护理的可持续性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
