“…Sixteen of the 34 studies aimed to describe the needs and experiences of older people following relocation to a long‐term care facility, others investigated adjustment (seven) or adaptation (six), family contribution to transition following relocation (four) and the concept of home following relocation (two). Six studies were informed by theoretical or conceptual frameworks, namely self‐determination theory (O'Connor & Vallerand, , Altintas, Benedetto, & Gallouj, ), social learning theory (Johnson, Stone, Altmaier, & Berdahl, ), Meleis's transitions theory (Koppitz et al, ), adaptation (Hersch, Spencer, & Kapoor, ), and space and place (Falk, Wijk, Persson, & Falk, ). For the qualitative studies, there was diversity of approaches, methods of data collection and data analysis.…”
