摘要：
It is important to support older adults' independence after hospitalization and, thus, to increase their perceived quality of life. The present descriptive study took a qualitative approach and aimed to describe older adults' experiences of their life situation after hospital discharge. Fifteen individuals (>= 65 years) from two regional hospitals in central Sweden were interviewed between October 2015 and January 2016 in their own home following hospital discharge. The interview data were analyzed using manifest and latent qualitative content analysis. The analysis revealed one theme: "Longing to be independent again" based on four categories: 'Dependent on other people and aids', 'Obstacles, impediments and limitations in daily life, 'Adapt to the situation' and 'Psychological and physical values'. Understanding older adults' experiences of life after hospitalization is also a prerequisite for being able to provide person-centered care. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
