The purpose of this study was to develop a substantive theory to explain how the timing of impairment in women's lives influenced health-promoting lifestyles among 45 women age 43 to 79 years with impairments of varying onset across the life course. From this grounded theory exploration, we suggest that women created health-related lifestyles that were comprised of changing abilities, roles, and rituals in support of perceived self. The ultimate goal of a healthy lifestyle was healthy aging, which was self-determination in the support of positive relationships. Environment and resources had direct influence on the perceived self. Our proposed substantive theory provides an understanding of how women develop a healthy lifestyle after the onset of permanent sensory or physical impairment. It also takes steps toward an understanding of how timing of impairment influences the perceptions women have of themselves and their health behaviors.
本研究旨在发展一个实质性理论，以解释女性生活中损伤出现的时间如何影响 45 名年龄在 43 至 79 岁之间、在整个生命周期中出现不同起始时间的损伤的女性的促进健康的生活方式。从这个扎根理论探索中，我们认为，女性创造了与健康相关的生活方式，这些生活方式包括不断变化的能力、角色和仪式，以支持感知自我。健康生活方式的最终目标是健康老龄化，即自我决定以支持积极的人际关系。环境和资源对感知自我有直接影响。我们提出的实质性理论提供了一种理解女性在永久性感觉或身体损伤后如何发展健康生活方式的方式。它还朝着理解损伤出现的时间如何影响女性对自己和健康行为的看法迈出了一步。
