| Annotation | This paper follows up on a previous qualitative study which aimed to investigate why outcome-focused home care appeared to be associated with an increase in older individuals' subjective well-being. Participants included 20 service users who were the subject of two semi-structured interviews, one at the start of the intervention and one at the six month stage. The data were then analysed under core themes raised by the service user in these interviews. The sample was divided into two, with one group receiving the outcome-focused model of care and the other group receiving the traditional time focused care. Findings indicated that service users' subjective well-being improved due to the ability of outcome-focused care to provide consistency, flexibility and most importantly the ability of the service user to form a relationship with the homecare workers providing their care. Implications for practice are discussed. (JL). |
