| Annotation | The concept of expectations has been integral to research on home care satisfaction, but little is known about expectations of home care. The aim of this longitudinal phenomenological study was to describe part of the personal-social context of older widows' experience of home care: that of holding expectations of home care nurses. Data were drawn from interviews over three years with 11 women who had home care nurses. The context of the home care experience was featured by leaning on helpers more at this stage, and by expecting the nurse to do what the nurse is supposed to do, with its five parts, including expecting the nurse to know how to do what needs to be done. Findings exemplified conceptual overlap among standard realms of expectations, such as behaviours and outcomes, and revealed the relevance of such data in appraisals of home care quality. (KJ/RH). |
