Interviews took place in participants\u2019 homes, were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and checked for accuracy. Participants were able to amend their transcript. Using thematic analysis informed by grounded theory, data were independently and iteratively analysed by two investigators and data saturation was reached. The study was guided by principles of qualitative rigour.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A nurse-led, multidisciplinary, community-based service comprising a nurse manager, GP, social worker, allied health assistant and administration assistant for people with frequent admissions at a public hospital in Tasmania, Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Any past or existing client was eligible to participate.

The three themes together formed a central organising theme: time to care. Having \u2018time to care\u2019 enabled healthcare workers to provide biomedical and psychosocial care and support and help participants address their challenges of ageing. It also allowed the development of trusting and respectful relationships that were essential to participants when receiving care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To understand and support people with frequent admissions \u2018time to care\u2019 was essential. A range of healthcare workers were required to provide relational aspects of care, as well as individualised and time-intensive care that spanned medical, spiritual, mental and socio-economic dimensions across tertiary, social and community services. Diverse strategies may be needed to allow healthcare workers \u2018time to care\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/fmch-2024-003234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T14:40:25Z","timestamp":1772203225000},"page":"e003234","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Time to care: the lived experience of receiving care from a primary care service for people with frequent hospital admissions"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6306-4840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deirdre","family":"McGowan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania Menzies Institute for Medical Research, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tania","family":"Winzenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania Menzies Institute for Medical Research, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"},{"name":"Primary Health Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania School of Social Sciences, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Henrys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tasmanian Health Service Northern Region, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linda","family":"Richardson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Primary Health Tasmania, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew J","family":"Palmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania Menzies Institute for Medical Research, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Radford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Launceston Clinical School, University of Tasmania School of Medicine, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania Menzies Institute for Medical Research, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"},{"name":"KP Health, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Morley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tasmania School of Nursing and Midwifery Hobart Campus, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026022706401868000_14.1.e003234.1","unstructured":"Berkman ND , Chang E , Seibert J , et al .
