摘要

在许多老龄化环境中，经验已经从常态转变为制度僵化，往往优先考虑业务需求而不是个人偏好。这样的框架减少了老年人的自主权，使许多人不敢选择这样的环境。国际文化变革运动强调了猖獗的常态，强调了回归日常生活体验和摆脱刻板惯例的必要性。过渡住宅现在关注的是自然节奏，比如不间断的睡眠和灵活的用餐，与个人需求而不是制度限制保持一致。虽然这些变化可能被贴上创新或最佳实践的标签，但它们仅仅是对正常生活的恢复。目标是确保老化设置反映了所有人共同的日常经历，倡导不受强加的时间表和限制的生活。这一观点得到了本期《活动、适应和老龄化:老年人有尊严和有目的的生活》研究的支持。

Innovation, Best Practice, or Normal Life?

In many aging environments, the experience has shifted from normalcy to institutional rigidity, often prioritizing operational demands over individual preferences. Such a framework reduces autonomy for older adults, deterring many from choosing such settings. The international culture change movement underscores rampant normalcy, emphasizing the need for a return to everyday life experiences and breaking away from regimented routines. Transitioning homes are now focusing on natural rhythms, such as uninterrupted sleep and flexible dining, aligning with individual needs rather than institutional constraints. While these changes may be labeled as innovative or best practice, they are merely a restoration of normal life. The goal is to ensure that aging settings reflect the day-to-day experiences common to all, advocating for a life free from imposed schedules and restrictions. This perspective is supported by research highlighted in this issue of Activities, Adaptations, and Aging: Dignified and Purposeful Living for Older Adults.

期刊介绍： Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
