ABSTRACT
Introduction:
An increasing number of older adults have moved to nursing homes in China. This study was to explore the adaptation of older adults' transition to nursing homes in mainland China.Method:
A qualitative study was conducted in two nursing homes in Nanjing, China. Data were collected from 11 residents and 5 staff members through purposeful sampling with semistructured interviews, and content analysis was performed.Results:
Three themes were identified Chinese culture, policy, and adaptation (staying modest and prudent, feeling shy to speak with males, familism suppressing the inner voice, and the new policy "combination of medical service and care" bringing benefits); the adaptation to nursing homes (poor quality of sleep and catering, relationship development, and emotional reactions); and needs of residents (emotional support, more interactions, and self-realization).Discussion:
Health care providers consider cultural assessments. Further work is expected to develop programs that help older adults adjust to nursing homes.Palavras-chave
