摘要

基于实验室的实验表明，衰老会对导航能力产生负面影响，但缺乏对生活经验的研究。本探索性研究在16次半结构化电话访谈中考察了年轻老年人导航能力下降的经历。研究结果显示:(a)“行为驱动因素”支撑了参与者在与环境接触时的经历和行动，(b)“回避”和(c)参与者采用的“积极”策略。认知功能下降似乎对参与者在不熟悉的户外环境中导航的感知能力和信心产生了负面影响，这反过来又影响了他们选择采用的策略。未来的社会心理干预应借鉴神经心理学理论，以确保尽可能长时间地保留导航技能和信心。

Experiences of age-related declining navigation abilities and impact on use of outdoor environments: a qualitative study of young-old adults with self-reported memory difficulties

Abstract Laboratory-based experiments show ageing negatively impacts navigation abilities, yet a paucity of research explores lived experience. This exploratory study examined young-old adults' experiences of declining navigation abilities during 16 semi-structured telephone interviews. Findings reveal: (a) ‘Behavioural drivers’ that underpinned the participants' experiences and actions when engaging with their environments, (b) ‘Avoidance’ and (c) ‘Active’ strategies that were adopted by the participants. Declining cognitive function appeared to have a negative impact on participants' perceived abilities and confidence to navigate unfamiliar outdoor environments, which in turn influenced the strategies they chose to adopt. Future psychosocial interventions should draw on neuropsychological theory to ensure retention of navigation skills and confidence for as long as possible.
