Abstract
Drawing on interviews with 26 bereaved individuals who provided care to a dying family member at home, the purpose of this article is to identify and explore motivations behind the “nonuse” of home health services. Participants resided in a Western Canadian regional health authority. In their accounts of not asking for help from formal providers, participants highlighted personal reasons, coping needs, and a lack of knowledge. In their accounts of refused help, they placed more emphasis on a perceived lack of need for help (including constructing themselves as capable and coping), as well as their perceptions of the quality and competence of formal services. Findings are compared against existing literature. Implications for health system policy and planning, and for home health nursing practice, training and education, particularly with reference to situations in which responsibility is left with families to ask for help from formal providers, are also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
