Abstract

Background: There is a need to further understand the nature and role of planning for one's lifestyle in retirement.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine retirement planning and how it impacts perceived preparedness and satisfaction with the retirement transition, as well as to explore personal experiences of retirement.

Methods: Canadians (n = 748) fully or partly retired participated in an online survey that included quantitative questions about perceived retirement preparedness and satisfaction and open-ended questions about retirement goals, fears, challenges, and advice.

Findings: Results determined that while both financial and lifestyle planning were significant predictors of higher perceived preparedness, only lifestyle planning was a significant predictor for satisfaction. Overall, no gender differences were detected. Open-ended comments highlighted the importance of planning for one's lifestyle in retirement, including meaningful activities and social connections.

Discussion: Individualized career advising as well as group-based educational programs or peer-assisted learning initiatives appear warranted to support people in planning for their lifestyle in retirement.

不仅仅是一个长假：重新审视生活方式规划在向退休过渡中的重要性。

背景：有必要进一步了解规划退休生活方式的性质和作用：本研究的目的是探讨退休规划及其如何影响人们对退休过渡的准备程度和满意度，以及探索个人的退休经历：完全或部分退休的加拿大人（n = 748）参与了一项在线调查，调查内容包括有关退休准备情况和满意度的量化问题，以及有关退休目标、恐惧、挑战和建议的开放式问题：结果表明，虽然财务规划和生活方式规划都能显著预测较高的退休准备度，但只有生活方式规划能显著预测满意度。总体而言，没有发现性别差异。开放式评论强调了规划退休生活方式的重要性，包括有意义的活动和社会关系：讨论：看来有必要提供个性化的职业咨询以及以小组为基础的教育计划或同伴辅助学习计划，以支持人们规划退休后的生活方式。
