This article discusses the author's use of reflexivity in trying to gain a better understanding of ageing in older people with learning disabilities. In the general population ageing is viewed in rather negative terms and as a significant life transition. However, for some older people with learning disabilities this transition may go unnoticed because of their past negative life experiences and lack of opportunities. Reflexivity has the potential to provide nurses with greater understanding of the personal perspectives of older people with learning disabilities.
本文讨论了作者运用反思性来更好地理解学习障碍老年人的老龄化问题。在普通人群中，老龄化被视为相当负面的情况，是一个重大的生活转变。然而，对于一些有学习障碍的老年人来说，由于他们过去的负面生活经历和缺乏机会，这种转变可能未被注意到。反思性有潜力让护士更深入地理解有学习障碍老年人的个人观点。
