Although leisure plays a significant role in older adults' lives, little is known about the meaning of leisure for this population. Thus, the purpose of this grounded theory study was to conceptualize the meaning of leisure for older adults in a continuing care retirement community. Theoretical sampling included 40 retirement home residents of Dutch heritage living in a suburban, midwestern area of the United States. Data collection consisted of participant observation and intensive interviews, and data analysis involved constant comparison method. This method facilitated development of a conceptual model of authoring leisure. The model of authoring leisure highlights older adults' definition of leisure, strategies used to author leisure, and the consequence of authoring leisure. The resulting conceptual refinement of leisure facilitates validation of leisure-related nursing diagnoses and provides empirically based knowledge for gerontological nursing practice.
尽管休闲在老年人的生活中起着重要作用，但对于这一人群而言，休闲的意义却鲜为人知。因此，这项扎根理论研究的目的是，将持续照料退休社区中老年人休闲的意义概念化。理论抽样包括居住在美国中西部郊区的40名荷兰裔退休之家居民。数据收集包括参与观察和深入访谈，数据分析采用持续比较法。这种方法有助于构建一个创作性休闲的概念模型。创作性休闲模型突出了老年人对休闲的定义、创作休闲所采用的策略以及创作休闲的结果。由此产生的休闲概念细化有助于验证与休闲相关的护理诊断，并为老年护理实践提供基于实证的知识。
