This study explored the life experiences and views on successful ageing of older Australians. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 participants consisting of 10 Chinese-Australians and 11 Anglo-Australians, aged 55 to 78 years. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results revealed that both groups associated successful ageing with health and personal responsibility. Anglo-Australians regarded growing old gracefully and acceptance as important aspects of successful ageing, whereas Chinese-Australians valued financial security and an active lifestyle. The research highlights that a cross-cultural perspective is imperative for service delivery and policy development to promote the health and well-being of older Australians.
本研究探讨了澳大利亚老年人的生活经历和对成功老龄化的看法。对年龄在 55 至 78 岁的 21 名参与者（包括 10 名华裔澳大利亚人和 11 名英裔澳大利亚人）进行了半结构化访谈。使用解释现象学分析对数据进行了分析。结果表明，两组人都将成功老龄化与健康和个人责任联系在一起。英裔澳大利亚人认为优雅地老去和接受是成功老龄化的重要方面，而华裔澳大利亚人则重视经济安全和积极的生活方式。研究结果表明，为了提供服务和制定政策以促进澳大利亚老年人的健康和福祉，必须采取跨文化视角。
