Reviews

The book offers the already existing findings summarized as metasyntheses in order to derive a model of quality of life from the perspective of older persons. From this model, caregivers, nurses, and other health professionals can derive recommendations on how to approach older persons in a person-centered way in order to promote their quality of life. (Nunziata Comoretto, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, Vol. 43, 2022)

The audience is people interested in the research of elderly care. It is also for caregivers who want to know the research behind the care they are providing to older persons. ... This is a useful book for analytical readers seeking research about care delivered to older persons. It includes many references and cites other supportive titles, which is invaluable. (Crystal L Plank, Doody's Book Reviews, March 20, 2020)
