“…Feeling supported by and experiencing a better relationship with the care provider has also been reported in other coordinated care interventions (Baxter & Markle‐Reid, ; Metzelthin, Daniels, et al, ; Poot, Caljouw, Waard, Wind, & Gussekloo, ). Trust appears to be the foundation of the relationship between care provider and older person and has an impact on the acceptance of offered care (Bindels, Cox, Widdershoven, van Schayck, & Abma, ; van Kempen et al, ; Muntinga et al, ). Also, in our study, mistrust among older persons towards unfamiliar services and care providers was a main barrier towards participation in care.…”

Aims To evaluate specific process components of the Urban Health Centres Europe (UHCE) approach; a coordinated preventive care approach aimed at healthy ageing by decreasing falls, polypharmacy, loneliness and frailty among older persons in community settings of five cities in the United Kingdom, Greece, Croatia, the Netherlands and Spain. Design Mixed methods evaluation of specific process components of the UHCE approach: reach of the target population, dose of the intervention actually delivered and received by participants and satisfaction and experience of main stakeholders involved in the approach. Methods The UHCE approach intervention consisted of a preventive assessment, shared decision‐making on a care plan and enrolment in one or more of four coordinated care‐pathways that targeted falls, polypharmacy, loneliness and frailty. Quantitative data from a questionnaire and quantitative/qualitative data from logbooks were collected among older persons involved in the approach. Qualitative data from focus groups were collected among older persons, informal caregivers and professionals involved in the approach. Quantitative data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics and multilevel logistic regression models. Qualitative data were analysed through thematic analysis. Results Having limited function was associated with non‐enrolment in falls and loneliness care‐pathways (both p < .01). The mean rating of the approach was 8.3/10 (SD 1.9). Feeling supported by a care professional and meeting people were main benefits for older persons. Mistrust towards unfamiliar care providers, lack of confidence to engage in care activities and health constraints were main barriers towards engagement in care. Conclusions Although the UHCE approach was received generally positively, health constraints and psychosocial barriers prevented older person's engagement in care. Impact Coordinated preventive care approaches for older community‐dwelling persons should address health constraints and psychosocial barriers that hinder older person's engagement in care.

“…It is necessary to provide person-centered care based on individual needs in order to gain the trust of the patients. Person-centered care is considered the best practice care for geriatric patients with multiple conditions and requires interprofessional collaboration due to different health care providers and the involvement of family caregivers [20,21]. A few studies have shown that the satisfaction of patients and their quality of life has improved, which was mainly reported by the patients themselves [12,22,23].…”

Background: Geriatric patients require holistic care in order to meet their complex care needs. The project RubiN (Continuous Care in a Regional Network) provides case and care management (CCM) for older people to address these needs in a primary care setting in Germany. This study aimed to explore the experiences of health care professionals who provided CCM for geriatric patients. Methods: Focus group interviews with general practitioners (GPs), health care assistants (HCAs), and case managers (CMs) were conducted. Transcribed data were analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. Results: Ten focus group discussions (n = 15 GPs, n = 14 HCAs, n = 17 CMs) were conducted. The different health care professionals emphasized the importance of a holistic care approach to geriatric care. Moreover, the GPs stated that the CMs supported the patients in organizing their care. A CCM could help encourage patients to remain at their own homes, which would have an effect on patients’ quality of life and satisfaction. Conclusion: A well-functioning and effective cooperation between those health professionals involved is a prerequisite for a trustful relationship in the holistic care of older people. This creates a feeling of security for all people involved in the care process.
