A cross-sectionaldesign included two methods: individual interviews andgroup discussions. A total of 105 participants includedolder adults with multimorbidity and their relatives,care staff and healthcare policymakers. Data were analysedusing content analysis. The results show thatseven core components comprise a multiperspective
