What does this research add to existing knowledge in gerontology?

Our research contributes to

gerontological nursing literature on family care by giving a rare voice to older persons 80+ years with high care needs.

Eleven interviews provided insights into what it means to have adult children who show caring responsibility towards their older parent, who lives alone with illness and frailty.

Caring responsibility is experienced as a condition of life based on a trusting relationship and tacit agreements where older persons try to balance their existential self- image and actual capability in terms of independence/ dependence.

What are the implications for nursing care with older persons?

Our findings can help understand how older persons experience dependency on their adult children.

The older persons do not mind handing over some responsibility to their children provided they are informed along the way; in fact, they experience this as a relief.

Older persons want their adult children to be involved and acknowledged when planning care and treatment because they manage complex issues on behalf of their parent and often seem to serve as the

“glue” that makes it possible for the parent to remain in his/her own home.

How could the findings influence policy, practice, research or education?

Our findings are important to take into consideration in nursing practice and education when understanding family care for older persons living in a vulnerable situation with illness and frailty regardless if the context is a hospital or home care.

At a policy level, our study shows how adult children are filling gaps left by the healthcare systems and play an important role in policies helping older persons stay in their own home.

Older persons do not want to be experienced as a burden by their children. This insight is important when planning future care interventions for older persons and their families.
