Culture change is common in healthcare organisations worldwide today, and change agents are key persons in the process of change. It is therefore of vital importance to deepen the knowledge about change agents’ experiences. The aim of the study was to illuminate meanings of being a change agent to improve home care services. Ten change agents were interviewed individually using open-ended questions. The interviews were analysed with phenomenological hermeneutics. The design of the study followed the COREQ guidelines. Three themes were revealed in the analysis: ‘Being confirmed by the opportunity to make quality improvements’; ‘Pushing oneself to transfer the message’; and ‘Being strengthened by achievements but wishing for better conditions’. In order to prepare co-workers, change agents need training before their mission begins and during the change process.
