Relocation stress syndrome is a nursing diagnosis characterized by symptoms such as anxiety, confusion, hopelessness, and loneliness. It usually occurs in older adults shortly after moving from a private residence to a nursing home or assisted-living facility. The primary purpose of this study was to validate the symptoms of relocation stress syndrome. Eight nursing home residents and 8 assisted-living facility residents were interviewed 2 to 10 weeks after admission, when symptoms of relocation stress syndrome are most likely to appear. Results of this study indicate that the incidence of relocation stress syndrome may be overestimated. More accurate diagnosis and treatment of depression in older adults is needed.
迁移应激综合征是一种护理诊断，其特征为焦虑、困惑、绝望和孤独等症状。它通常发生在老年人从私人住所搬到养老院或辅助生活设施后不久。本研究的主要目的是验证迁移应激综合征的症状。8名养老院居民和8名辅助生活设施居民在入院后2至10周接受了访谈，此时迁移应激综合征的症状最有可能出现。本研究结果表明，迁移应激综合征的发病率可能被高估了。需要对老年人的抑郁症进行更准确的诊断和治疗。
