MANAGING MULTIPLE CHRONIC CONDITIONS: EXPERIENCES OF OLDER ADULTS, CAREGIVERS, AND CARE PROVIDERS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of managing multiple chronic conditions (MCC) in the community from the perspectives of older adults with MCC, caregivers and healthcare providers. Semi-structured qualitative interviews (n=130) were conducted in two Canadian provinces with 41 community-living older adults (65 years and older) with 3 or more chronic conditions, 47 caregivers and 42 healthcare providers working in community settings. Participants described the experience of managing MCC as: (a) overwhelming, draining and complicated, (b) organizing pills and appointments, (c) being split into pieces, (d) doing what the doctor says, (e) relying on family and friends, and (f) having difficulty getting outside help. The experience of managing MCC was highly complex and significant gaps existed between the perceived needs of older adults and caregivers and the ability of health and social care systems to meet those needs. Study results informed the design of intervention studies.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
