In this study, the authors aimed to explore how men manage when two significant life events, stroke and retirement, occur within a close time proximity. They selected 7 men purposively who were either in the process of planning to retire or had just retired when they had suffered a stroke, and used interpretive phenomenological analysis to guide data collection and to analyze the resulting transcripts. The authors derived three interrelated processes with eight subthemes. The three themes were associated with ambivalence about retirement, the impact of the stroke, and healing and adjustment. The themes suggested that significant interplay existed between the meanings made of the two life events. The emergent themes implied that stroke had a profound impact on the men's lives and affected them on a number of levels. The experience of suffering a stroke also led to some positive reframing of life.
在本研究中，作者旨在探讨当两项重大生活事件——中风和退休——在相近时间内发生时，男性是如何应对的。他们有目的地挑选了7名男性，这些男性要么正处于计划退休的过程中，要么在中风时刚刚退休，并采用解释现象学分析来指导数据收集以及分析所得的文字记录。作者得出了三个相互关联的过程及八个子主题。这三个主题分别与对退休的矛盾心理、中风的影响以及康复与调整有关。这些主题表明，这两项生活事件所蕴含的意义之间存在着显著的相互作用。新出现的主题暗示，中风对这些男性的生活产生了深远影响，并在多个层面上对他们造成了影响。中风的经历也促使他们对生活进行了一些积极的重新审视。
