Data supporting interpretations of congruent needs
| Family member’s other-related and resident’s self-related needs | |
| Basic needs | ‘The food is awfully good here. We always wait for mealtimes.’ (Resident) ‘Checking the diapers. We were angry [when] we noticed it was in the morning, and [that the next time was] not until the evening.’ (Adult child) ‘[Her] aggressive attitude changed because she now feels that she’s safe and these people understand her and take care of her.’ (Adult child) |
| Respectful and equal, close relations | ‘It’s well arranged here […] there’s no rush.’ (Resident) ‘It feels like the nurses are never in a hurry, and I know they are.’ (Adult child) ‘Here, the nurses understand she’s not deaf; she just doesn’t remember.’ (Adult child) ‘I notice he has awfully good relations with the nurses, and it feels so good.’ (Spouse) |
| Maintaining self and free will | ‘It’s better to be independent, not relying too much on others’ help. Otherwise, one gets used to life in an institution.’ (Resident) ‘Just caretaking and nice activities [for my mum], not to feel like a prisoner.’ (Adult child) ‘[Her] clothes must always be nice. Those issues just come through that are her personality. The risk in diagnosing is that one is no longer a person, but a diagnosis.’ (Adult child) |
| Social and active life | ‘She’s always loved music and singing. Here they have those, which is important.’ (Adult child) ‘One-on-one time is also needed. It’s not only about changing the diapers or washing and dressing up, but giving time.’ (Adult child) |
| Family member’s self-related and resident’s self-related needs | |
| Amicable atmosphere and home-like feeling | ‘There’s one resident whose room looks like a living room, but with a bed: there’s even a carpet. I think it’s the most home-like of these rooms.’ (Nurse) ‘I find it really nice that nurses know my mum by name. That makes me feel like I’m coming to mum’s home.’ (Adult child) ‘There’s [a] sauna and barbequing. It’s like living everyday life in a family.’ (Adult child) |
