abstract="AIM: The aim of this study was to explore the needs and wishes in everyday life of older persons who have experienced a fall. <br><br>DESIGN: A hermeneutic-phenomenological design with semi-structured interviews. <br><br>METHOD: Interviews were analysed using systematic text condensation. <br><br>RESULTS: Nine patients (5 women, 4 men) were included. The participants were between 67-95 years old. Seven of the nine participants had suffered from recurrent falls. The analysis revealed four themes: &quot;To maintain meaningfulness in everyday life after experiencing a fall&quot;, &quot;Contact with professionals can be a prerequisite for feeling well and motivated after a fall&quot;, &quot;A need for assistive technology and aids in everyday life&quot; and &quot;Asking for help can be a challenge&quot;. Our findings highlight that older-person-centred care and treatment are essential to address the complex variations in needs and wishes of older persons who have experienced a fall.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
