Abstract: With the aging population and the natural increase of nursing care within gerontology, there is increasing interest in how the nurse interacts with the aged person and utilizes their role to protect and promote successful aging behaviors.The goal lies in understanding the nurse-aged person interaction process.This is a naturalistic study of qualitative paradigm and inductive reasoning, developed in the context of primary health care.We observed the interaction process between nurse and older person in various Health Centers and Day/Socializing Centers and supplemented the information with an interview.The grounded theory analysis method of Corbin & Strauss was used, which provides the triangulation of data and uses theoretical sampling.The nurse-aged person interaction is established in a joint process of recreation of the gerontologic care predisposing, fostering and strengthening knowledge about the essence of life.The elderly person who is the object of nurse care, builds their lived experience by aiming towards integrity, establishing individual and social interaction and enhancing experiences.From this whole interaction process, a central concept emerges: clarification of the aged person's lived experience.
