Sumario:Abstract: Background: Relocation is a very important event in people¿s lives in general, but really significant in old age. However, some predictors of relocation still need to be improved. The objective of this review was to synthesize qualitative evidence to understand the reasons of the participants to decide on the place of care of the older people. Methods: Systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted in six databases: Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, PsycINFO,Web of Science and CINAHL, from its beginning until 29 November 2017. Qualitative or mixed studies, written in English or Spanish and addressing the decision-making process (already experienced by participants) on the place of care of older persons (65 years or older), were included in the review. PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42018084826). Results: A total of 46 articles were finally included in the analysis. Our main result is the distinction of multiple reasons for each population group involved in the decision-making process, ranking these reasons into three factors: Retention, pull and push. Conclusion: This dierentiation allows for a more detailed and in-depth analysis of the motivations of the dierent groups involved in this process.
