Older people’s views and expectations about the competences of health and social care professionals: a European qualitative study
Adapting and providing quality services for people as they age is a common challenge across Europe. The perspective of older
people is fundamental in a person-centred care approach. Expanding research at the European level that explicitly includes
their views can ofer a relevant contribution to the development of evidence-based guidelines that can be shared in education
and training across health and social care professions. This study aimed to identify common meaningful dimensions of pro fessional competence in health and social care emphasised by older people from six countries in diferent regions of Europe
according to their experiences. A qualitative approach was chosen with a total of 95 semi-structured interviews conducted in
Austria, Finland, Lithuania, Portugal, Turkey and UK, following a common topic guide. Participants in this study were aged
60 and above, and recruitment considered age, gender, level of education and living arrangements. Results identifed a set of
universal skills and practices that according to older people, health and social care professionals should meet. Competences
at the interpersonal level were central in older people’s discourses, and its core dimensions are anchored in relational, com munication and socio-emotional skills of professionals. These fndings reinforce the aspiration of establishing best practices
in care that relies on the harmonisation of a competence framework that can be shared in the training and education of health
and social care professionals across Europe and that voices older people’s preferences, expectations and needs.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
