RNs called individuals aged ≥65 years within 5 business days of ED discharge to review instructions, assess symptoms, and support primary care provider (PCP) follow up. Outcomes were 30-day ED revisits and hospital admissions. Logistic regression assessed associations between a 5-day nurse call, a 14-day PCP visit, and combined.Results: Of 2,381 patients, 42.4% received a nurse call and 47.8% completed a PCP visit. Within 30 days, 13.1% revisited the ED and 10.4% were hospitalized.

The current study explored how primary caregivers revisit their caregiving experiences during the first year after caregiving cessation and examined implications for gerontological nursing practice.Method: A constructivist grounded theory study was conducted with 11 former informal caregivers recruited through primary health care services in Portugal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted approximately 12 months after the death of the care recipient. Data were analyzed using constant comparison, open and axial coding, memo writing, and theoretical integration.Results: A central experiential process-Reliving the Moment of Departure-emerged, involving repeated reflection on end-of-life decisions, emotional ambivalence characterized by relief and guilt, and disruption of caregiver identity.Conclusion: Caregiving cessation represents a vulnerable transitional period, highlighting the need for structured post-bereavement follow up and supportive nursing interventions in primary and community care.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148808768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
