Abstract

There is a sharp increase in the number of older people globally. Thus, it is important to adopt strategies to improve the care provided for older people, especially due to the increased prevalence of chronic conditions. However, very little evidence is available on what should be done, especially from the perspective of healthcare professionals responsible for providing care for older people in nursing homes. Thus, this study aimed to explore the opinions of healthcare professionals including nurses and physicians in nursing homes on adopting holistic framing for improving care provision for older people with chronic conditions in Jordan. The study employed a descriptive phenomenological design using semi-structured interviews with 13 nurses and two physicians in Amman governorate in Jordan during the period from June to September 2024. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze data. The findings revealed three overarching themes including: (1) offering dedicated courses and postgraduate programs; (2) improving facilities and resources; and (3) raising awareness and enhancing collaborations. The findings provide a holistic framing for improving healthcare provision for older people with chronic diseases in Jordan.
