In recent years, we have witnessed an overall upsurge in interest in informal care from all countries in the developed world considering their ageing populations. The older people living alone group is, especially interesting in this matter, since it seems to deviate from the expectations of extended family living.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim was to describe older persons' experiences of informal care when living alone in India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study has a hermeneutic design, analysing interviews of older persons living alone in India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings revealed informal care as the thematic patterns: Informal care as a fundamental human responsibility, an obligation and thereby a way to act in \u2018common sense\u2019. It was a way of \u2018paying\u2010back\u2019 care that they had received from others in their life history, motivated by governmental care was not presented as an option. Informal care also created safety by the provision of alert and actionable care by loved ones, including spatial safety. Most of the informants experienced themselves as informal caregivers assisting others in need even if they themselves were old and fragile. Providing self care was also seen as a part of informal care conducted by capable and worthy persons. They also pointed out their own obligation to seek informal care and even to listen to the suggestions of younger generations regarding the type and scope of care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions\/Implications for practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Informal care in India is not only dependent on having children who ensure that you receive the care you need. Extended family, neighbours and friends feel a basic human obligation to care for the older people in their environment. This responsibility is deeply rooted even within the older people who become fragile in old age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/opn.12468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,25]],"date-time":"2022-04-25T00:49:01Z","timestamp":1650847741000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Informal caregiving from the perspectives of older people living alone in India"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5670-6908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lena\u2010Karin","family":"Gustafsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Care and Social Welfare M\u00e4lardalen University  Eskilstuna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ildik\u00f3","family":"Asztalos Morell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Care and Social Welfare M\u00e4lardalen University  Eskilstuna Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Urban and Rural Development Swedish University of Agriculture  Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Johansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Care and Social Welfare M\u00e4lardalen University  Eskilstuna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9386-8698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santa","family":"De","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing Bharati Vidyapeeth University  Pune, Maharashtra India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0156937"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.archger"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2013.19.1.16"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2012.29"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472\u20106963\u201014\u2010207"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","volume-title":"Gerontological nursing competencies and standards of practice and competencies","author":"CGNA \u2010Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association","year":"2020"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","unstructured":"CODEX.
