Uncovering perspectives on physical activity in nursing homes: a qualitative exploration of the experiences of healthcare professionals and family caregivers
This study highlights the need for a consensus in task prioritisation, enhanced competence among healthcare professionals, and better interdisciplinary collaboration to facilitate physical activity in nursing homes. Involving external societal resources could be a strategic approach to address barriers and support physical activity initiatives. Future research should focus on developing effective strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration that prioritises and promotes physical activity in nursing homes.
