Abstract

ABSTRACT The study investigated the time use of senior adults transitioning into a nursing home, and the current practices or strategies adopted by these senior adults during their transition into a nursing home. Twenty-one senior adults transitioning into a nursing home were recruited through purposive sampling and observed for 16 hours over 2 days. Selected senior adults were further invited for an individual, semi-structured interview to understand their lived experience of transitioning into a nursing home. Study participants were observed to be leading an inactive routine during their transition into a nursing home. Of the seven themes that evolved from the semi-structured interviews, three themes described the barriers that hindered a positive transition and four themes described the facilitators that promoted a positive transition into a nursing home. Transition into a nursing home is a complex process. Engagement in meaningful activities and promoting psychological well-being should be encouraged during the transition into a nursing home.

参与活动和经验的老年人过渡到养老院在新加坡

摘要本研究调查了老年人过渡到养老院的时间使用情况，以及这些老年人在过渡到疗养院期间采取的当前做法或策略。21名过渡到疗养院的老年人通过有针对性的采样被招募，并在2天内观察了16个小时。选定的老年人被进一步邀请进行一次半结构化的个人访谈，以了解他们过渡到养老院的生活经历。研究参与者被观察到在过渡到疗养院期间过着不活跃的日常生活。在从半结构化访谈演变而来的七个主题中，三个主题描述了阻碍积极过渡的障碍，四个主题描述的是促进积极过渡到疗养院的促进者。过渡到疗养院是一个复杂的过程。在过渡到疗养院期间，应鼓励参与有意义的活动并促进心理健康。
