摘要
During recent decades a significant body of research regarding nursing home placement of an elderly family member has been produced. While some risk factors for placement have been uncovered, such as health and well-being of the caregiver and care recipient, what is left unknown is the lived experience at the point of nursing home placement. The application of an interactionist perspective focuses attention on how nursing home placement decisions are affected by caregivers' interpersonal interactions.

Findings show that significant interactions, ultimately leading to institutionalization, took place between the caregivers and their health care professionals, friends, family members, and God.
