Abstract:
This study explored health care professionals' perceptions and experiences associated with the role of point-of-care nurses during care transitions from an acute care hospital to a rehabilitation setting to being discharged home. We used a qualitative exploratory design and semistructured interviews. Content analysis revealed 3 themes that point to the ambiguity related to the roles that nurses enact with older patients during care transitions. We suggest ways to better support nurses to engage in quality care transitions.
