“…Our research proposes to acknowledge the concept of interdependence (Perkins, Ball, Whittington, & Hollingsworth, 2012) that captures more accurately the necessary conditions for collaborative practices with NH residents (Abbott, Fisk, & Forward, 2000;Backhouse et al, 2016;Hyd en 2011Hyd en , 2014Katz, Conant, Inui, Baron, & Bor, 2000). Engagement in everyday activities serves as a clear example of interdependence and has been identified as playing a pivotal role in upholding quality of life (Bj€ ork et al, 2017;Edvardsson, Fetherstonhaugh, & Nay, 2010;Edvardsson, Petersson, Sj€ ogren, Lindkvist, & Sandman, 2014;Green & Acheson Cooper, 2000;Harmer & Orrell, 2008;Popham & Orrell, 2012;Smit, de Lange, Willemse, Twisk, & Pot, 2016), well-being (Bergland & Kirkevold, 2006;Chung, 2004;Hasselkus & Murray, 2007;O'Sullivan, 2011) and identity preservation (Beard & Fox, 2008;Cohen-Mansfield, Parpura-Gill, & Golander, 2006;Moyle et al, 2011;Phinney, Chaudhury, & O'Connor, 2007) among NHs residents. For NH residents, engaging in everyday activities increasingly requires cooperation with others in order to take place (Baur & Abma, 2012;Baur, Abma, Boelsma, & Woelders, 2013;Mondaca, Josephsson, Borell, Katz, & Rosenberg, 2018).…”
