“…Older adults experienced increased safety, security and improved independence when using telecare over time. This is supported by previous studies (Karlsen et al, ) but usually applied to first‐generation telecare systems and the participants were not followed up over time, in most of these studies. The present study shows findings from a range of telecare devices and from older adults with different needs in various contexts.…”

“…Telecare may contribute to increased safety and independence to community‐dwelling older adults, as it can facilitate assistance in case of accidents (Karlsen, Ludvigsen, Moe, Haraldstad, & Thygesen, ). Moreover, a recent study by Rostill et al (), shows promising results of testing an Internet of Things system for dementia care, a system that intends to identify changes in a person's health or routine, to prevent the development of more serious complications.…”

“…After years of trials and a policy of using telecare to promote active ageing and ageing in place, there is a need for a better understanding of persistent engagement with telecare (Cook et al, ; Karlsen et al, ; Lynch, ) from older adults and their family caregivers’ perspectives (Holthe et al, ). The present study seeks to enrich insight into clinical practice and models of telecare service delivery, by exploring how telecare may meet the older adults’ needs.…”

Aims and objectives To obtain a deeper understanding of the persistent use of telecare for older adults and their family caregivers. Background Telecare is seen as part of the solution in home care services for ageing in place. Previous studies have shown that telecare is a complex intervention, and there is still a poor understanding of older adults’ and their family caregivers’ experience with the use of telecare. Design This study used a qualitative hermeneutic research approach. Method Interviews were conducted with 18 older adults and follow‐up interviews were conducted with 15 participants after 5–6 months of use. In addition, interviews were conducted with seven close family caregivers. The COREQ checklist was used. Results The older adults expressed increased safety, security and independence. Although some of them experienced challenges, they continued to use the services. Furthermore, the findings revealed needs that telecare could not cover. Family caregivers reported that telecare eased their concern for a time. However, they felt increased responsibility which led to ambivalent feelings between wanting to comply with the older adults’ desire to live at home and the stress and concern this caused. Conclusion Telecare does improve care offered by home care services. However, it must be considered in the context of assistance and other measures and be provided in response to each individual's specific needs. Family caregivers may benefit from telecare, but telecare may also add to their care burden. Relevance to clinical practice There is a need for increased knowledge and information about telecare and for follow‐up from home care services. Family caregivers are important for promoting sustainable use, but a support system and better cooperation with home care services is needed.

“…Flere studier basert på perspektiver fra helsepersonell (Johannessen, Storm & Holm, 2019;Radhakrishnan, Jacelon & Roche, 2012) og brukerne selv (Berge, 2017;Eriksson, Lindstrøm, & Ekenberg, 2011;Karlsen, Ludvigsen & Moe et al, 2017) viser at bruk av velferdsteknologi gir økt opplevelse av trygghet og sikkerhet. En nylig publisert studie viser imidlertid til at begrensninger ved teknologien og vanskeligheter med å benytte og forstå de teknologiske løsningene oppleves som utfordrende for de eldre brukernes sikkerhet (Johannessen et al, 2019).…”

Hensikten med studien var å utforske hva ledere og helsepersonell opplever som viktig for trygg og sikker bruk av velferdsteknologi for eldre i hjemmebasert helse-og omsorgstjeneste. Studien har et eksplorativt, kvalitativt design. Det ble gjennomført fire fokusgrupper med tilsammen 20 deltagere: ti ledere fra åtte kommuner og ti helsepersonell fra to kommuner. Dataene ble analysert ved hjelp av kvalitativ innholdsanalyse. Resultatene viser at deltakerne opplevde det som viktig at både helsepersonell og brukere får nødvendig informasjon og opplaering om velferdsteknologien som benyttes. Det ble videre ansett som avgjørende at både teknologi og bruken av den følges tett opp, og at løsningene som tilbys er i samsvar med brukernes individuelle ønsker, behov og ressurser. Deltagerne viste også til betydningen av å øke oppmerksomheten mot tidlig innsats og bruk av velferdsteknologi i et forebyggende perspektiv.

“…The lived experience of aging in place is not well documented in existing systematic reviews. Although there are several published systematic reviews examining the provision of specific services for community-dwelling older adults, such as home health care or telecare [ 8 , 9 ], only two systematic reviews focus specifically on aspects of aging in place: a systematic review of quantitative studies on cost effectiveness of aging in place [ 10 ], and a systematic review of factors influencing acceptance of technology for aging in place [ 11 ]. The authors of the cost effectiveness review [ 10 ] found the existing evidence to be low quality and limited by inconsistencies in measurement, so they were unable to draw any robust conclusions.…”

BackgroundBy 2035, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in the United States (US). In light of its aging population, the US has supported services focused on enabling older adults to continue living in their current homes, a model commonly described as “aging in place.” The lived experience of aging in place is not well documented in existing systematic reviews. The aims of this systematic review are to synthesize and evaluate the existing qualitative evidence on experiences of aging in place in the US and identify knowledge gaps and directions for future studies.MethodsSix electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Sociological Abstracts) will be searched. Studies presenting qualitative data on the experiences of older adults currently aging in place in the US will be included. Covidence software will be used to screen studies and extract data. The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for qualitative research will be used to assess quality and risk of bias of included studies. We will use meta-ethnography, following the method described by Noblit and Hare, to synthesize and evaluate the results of the included studies.DiscussionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to integrate and synthesize the findings of qualitative studies of aging in place focusing on older adults in the US. The findings of this review will provide in-depth knowledge on lived experiences of aging in place and address important gaps in existing work.Systematic review registrationInternational Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO): CRD42018102847Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13643-018-0820-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
