Intentions of Older Homebound Women With Regard to Reaching Help Quickly

---

Abstract.
The purposes of this longitudinal phenomenological study were to describe
intentions of older women relative to reaching help quickly (RHQ), to place
those intentions in personal–social context, and to compare intentions of subscribers
to a personal emergency response system (PERS) and nonsubscribers.
The 40 participants were aged 85 or older, resided alone, and needed help to
leave home. Two contextual features (“recognizing my risk of being unable to
RHQ” and “recognizing my need for a RHQ device to sustain myself”) were
basic to two phenomena (“negotiating reliance on people to reach quickly if
I need help” and “reducing my risk of being unable to RHQ”). There was greater
variation in intentions and context within each of the two naturally occurring
groups (subscribers and nonsubscribers) than between them. Practitioners cannot
assume that women intend to use available RHQ devices in specific situations;
preventive nursing involves proactive exploration of intentions relative to RHQ.
