Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Eligible participants include individuals aged 60 years or older with no care level or with a care level ranging from 0 to a maximum of 2.

| The principles of qualitative research methodology (particularly openness, processuality, reflexivity, and the evolving definition of both the research object and the analytical framework) does not prespecify fixed endpoints. Instead, data collection and analysis proceed iteratively until theoretical saturation is achieved, which constitutes the endpoint of the study. Empirical data are generated through established qualitative social research methods, including focus group interviews, expert interviews, participatory workshops employing think-aloud techniques, and storytelling cafés as narrative formats of collective sense-making. | — |
