Journal Article
Thomson, R., Martin, J. L., & Sharples, S. (2013). The psychosocial impact of home use medical devices on the lives of older people: a qualitative study. BMC Health Services Research, 13(467), Article 467. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-13-467

Background Increased life expectancy and the accompanying prevalence of chronic conditions have led to the focus and delivery of health care migrating from the hospital and into people’s homes. While previous studies have investigated the integratio... Read More about The psychosocial impact of home use medical devices on the lives of older people: a qualitative study.
