摘要

老年人参与老年友好社区(AFC)活动被认为是社区转型的一个基本要素。然而,有关老年人参与老年友好社区计划的经验的研究仍处于起步阶段。根据对美国四个州 15 项老年友好社区计划的 23 名老年人参与者的定性访谈,我们的反思性主题分析确定了三个主题,即参与者从参与中获得的价值:(a) 社会贡献;(b) 社会联系和融合;(c) 保持活跃和个人成长。探索老年人对贡献社区、与社区建立联系以及在社区中成长的兴趣,可以为全美社区志愿服务活动的招募和保留提供信息。

"I'm Part of Something That Matters": Exploring What Older Adults Value Through Their Engagement in Age-Friendly Community Initiatives.

Older adults' engagement in age-friendly community (AFC) initiatives is considered an essential element of community transformation. However, research on older adults' experiences of engaging in AFC initiatives remains nascent. Based on qualitative interviews with 23 older adult participants from 15 AFC initiatives across four states in the United States (U.S.), our reflexive thematic analysisidentified three themes regarding what participants value from their engagement: (a) social contribution; (b) social connectedness and integration; and (c) staying active and personal growth. Exploring older adults' interest in contributing to, connecting with, and growing in their community can inform recruitment and retention in AFC initiatives.
