The meaning of home: a qualitative meta-synthesis
Res Gerontol Nurs.
2010 Oct.
Abstract
Practice-based initiatives have emphasized the need to provide "homelike" environments in long-term care. This study adds to the discourse on the meaning of home by synthesizing several individual qualitative studies using Noblit and Hare's method of meta-ethnography. The purpose of this larger synthesis is to bring the findings from several discrete studies into a larger interpretive perspective that will lead to ongoing theory and practice development to enable experiences of home during residential transition, thereby informing nursing praxis in creating and shaping therapeutic environments.
