摘要

关于生活事件对老年人生活质量的影响，我们需要一个更加全面的视角。我们从生命历程的角度探讨了老年公寓居民如何看待生活事件对其当前生活质量的影响。我们对来自三所老年公寓的 33 名年龄在 68 至 97 岁之间的居民进行了半结构式访谈。主题分析表明，与社会关系和人的能动性有关的事件可能会影响老年人的生活质量。有助于个人发展、安全感、社会联系和强烈的人的能动性的经历被认为会提高生活质量。而导致焦虑、降低自主感和失去社会亲近感的事件则被认为会降低生活质量。生活事件有时也会唤起相互矛盾的感受。研究表明，生活事件的影响取决于人的需求是否得到满足。

Life events and the experience of quality of life among residents of senior housing in Finland

A more holistic view is needed regarding the impact of life events on the quality of life of older adults. We explored how senior housing residents perceive the influence of life events on their current quality of life, from a life course perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 residents aged 68 to 97 years from three senior houses. The thematic analysis suggested that events related to social relationships and human agency may influence quality of life in old age. Experiences that contribute to personal development, feeling safe, social connectedness, and a strong sense of human agency were perceived to add quality to life. Events that cause anxiety, reduces one’s sense of autonomy, and involve loss of social closeness were perceived to detract from quality of life. Life events can also sometimes evoke conflicting feelings. The study implies that the influence of life events depends on whether human needs are met.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) serves an audience interested in social and cultural aspects of ageing and later life development. As such, the Journal welcomes contributions that aim at advancing the theoretical and conceptual debate on research on ageing and later life. Contributions based on empirical work are also welcome as are methodologically interested discussions of relevance to the study of ageing and later life. Being an international journal, IJAL acknowledges the need to understand the cultural diversity and context dependency of ageing and later life.
