Understanding the Needs and Wishes of Older Adults in Interprofessional Treatment for Malnutrition and Sarcopenia: A Grounded Theory Study
Older adults' need for involvement in interprofessional treatment can be met by engaging them actively in healthcare decisions and as partners to healthcare professionals. The need for well-informed healthcare professionals can be fulfilled by ensuring accessible healthcare information, the prevention of conflicting advice, and the prevention of repeating medical history. Finally, the need for collaboration among healthcare professionals can be fulfilled by healthcare professionals communicating openly and directly and working closely together.
