Abstract
This meta-synthesis presents the perspectives of home-dwelling old people on health-promoting self-care experiences. Such information can help healthcare professionals to maintain long-term autonomy of elders in self-care and to promote healthy aging. Further qualitative research describing self-care experiences of home-dwelling elders from different cultures, education levels, and social backgrounds is needed.
