      abstract = {Many older adults view pets as companions, and are  responsible for their pets care and well-being. Research  suggests that people prioritize their pet's needs, although  it may jeopardize their own safety. Some older adults  forego, delay, or refuse care in order to remain with their  pet. In this study I used constructivist grounded theory to  explore and describe the influence of pets on older adults'  decision making and chronic-condition management. I  conducted semistructured individual interviews with  community-dwelling adults (N = 20) aged 60 or older who had  at least one chronic disease and who were living with a  pet. Participants were asked questions about their  relationship with pets, decision making, chronic-disease  management, and pet's influence on these processes.},
