View Care: The primary goal of the project is to gain insights into the current situation, the experience, the organisation of needs and coping strategies of people in need of care during the Corona pandemic. The focus is put on the individual experience and the subsequent sense definitions of the individuals.  The theoretical explanations of the current situation of people in need of care are extended by making the new reality’s processing of the subjects themselves a topic. This perspective has been virtually unexamined up to now. Sociological perspectives within the framework of reconstructive social research have only been marginally represented in care research so far. This study aims to expand the methodological and content-related repertoire of previous health services research.

Persons in need of care in outpatient and inpatient facilities in four different federal states will be interviewed. The Interviewees are independently able to give their consent to participate in the study. 20 qualitative interviews are planned, which will be conducted partly face to face and partly online.
