: Ageing is often associated with multiple long-term health problems influencing older persons' well-being in daily living. It is not unusual that the point of interest in research is often on the management of the actual health problem instead of being holistic and person-centred.: To describe the phenomenon of living with long-term health problems that influence daily living, from the older persons' perspective.: Qualitative individual interviews were conducted with 34 older persons living with long-term health problems. The data were analysed using a Reflected Lifeworld Research (RLR) approach, grounded in phenomenology. Results: Life with long-term health problems entails living in a diminishing world. It entails living in uncertainty, not being able to trust one's own ability. The freedom to make decisions of your own is deprived by relatives and health-care providers. Living with long-term health problems entails being dependent on support in daily life and a strive to maintain meaningfulness in daily living.: The results address a need for extended individual and holistic guidance and support in living with long-term health problems to increase the older person's sense of well-being and meaning in life.
: 衰老通常与多种长期健康问题相关，这些问题会影响老年人的日常生活幸福感。研究的关注点常常集中在实际健康问题的管理上，而不是整体和以人为中心，这并不罕见。: 描述从老年人的角度来看，长期健康问题影响日常生活的现象。: 对 34 名患有长期健康问题的老年人进行了定性个体访谈。数据使用扎根于现象学的反思生活世界研究 (RLR) 方法进行分析。结果：长期健康问题的生活意味着生活在一个不断缩小的世界中。这意味着生活在不确定之中，无法相信自己的能力。亲戚和医疗保健提供者剥夺了自己做决定的自由。长期健康问题的生活需要依靠日常生活中的支持，并努力维持日常生活的意义。: 研究结果表明，需要提供扩展的个人和整体指导和支持，以帮助老年人应对长期健康问题，提高他们的幸福感和生活意义。
