Abstract

Older people who are wanting to support their own ability to age well may benefit from attending community-based group programs. However, many of these programs are designed and implemented by health professionals without direct input from older people, which may limit the opportunity to ensure such programs are authentically meeting the needs of this population group. A qualitative approach, using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), was undertaken with seven (six female and one male) participants, aged between 62 and 80 years to explore the experiences of participating in a pilot Ageing Well Program. Interviews were transcribed and analysed according to IPA principles. Three themes emerged from the analysis of the interview data: (1) The value of focusing on different aspects of ageing; (2) Learning new knowledge; and (3) Transferring skills to everyday life. Participants in the pilot of the Ageing Well Program highlighted that those aspects of the Program, such as the focus on adding value through targeting multiple aspects of ageing, as well as developing strategies to successfully learn, apply, and translate new knowledge into their everyday lives, were beneficial and supported engagement. However, future programs would benefit from the inclusion of clear and coherent written material to provide an aide in remembering the strategies and new information learnt during the Program. Findings support the importance and value of engaging with older people to assist with the development of community-based programs that are authentically designed to align with the expectations of older people, through a process of quality improvement.

了解老年人在设计社区健康老龄化计划中的价值,一项定性研究
老年人如果希望通过参加社区团体活动来提高自己的养老能力,可能会从中受益。然而,许多此类项目都是由卫生专业人员设计和实施的,没有老年人的直接参与,这可能会限制确保此类项目真正满足这一人群需求的机会。本研究采用解释现象学分析(IPA)的定性方法,对七位(六位女性和一位男性)年龄在 62 岁至 80 岁之间的参与者进行了访谈,以探讨他们参与 "老有所为 "试点计划的经历。根据 IPA 原则对访谈内容进行了转录和分析。通过对访谈资料的分析,我们发现了三个主题:(1)关注老龄化不同方面的价值;(2)学习新知识;(3)将技能运用到日常生活中。参与 "老有所为 "计划试点项目的人员强调,该计划的这些方面,例如通过关注老龄化的多个方面来增加价值,以及制定成功学习、应用新知识并将其转化到日常生活中的策略,都是有益的,有助于他们参与其中。不过,如果在未来的计划中加入清晰连贯的书面材料,以帮助记忆计划中的策略和学到的新信息,将对计划大有裨益。研究结果证明了与老年人接触的重要性和价值,通过质量改进过程,协助开发真正符合老年人期望的社区计划。
