However, a paradox appears when older persons express a deep\u2010rooted perception of autonomy and independence as they have difficulties with their growing dependency and feelings of being burdensome. Older persons try to balance the continuum of autonomy, their existential self\u2010image and actual capability. The practical part of caring responsibility seems to dominate and strongly affect the parent\u2013child relationship because the child needs to take care of practical issues related to healthcare management and instrumental activities of daily living, leaving less time for meaningful togetherness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Implications for practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Older persons want their adult children to be involved and acknowledged when planning care and treatment because they often seem to serve as the \u2018glue\u2019 that makes it possible for the parent to
