Traumatic events in one's younger years can have an impact on how an individual copes with later life. One traumatic experience for Jewish individuals was the Holocaust. Some of these people are moving into long-term care facilities. It was within this context that the research question emerged: What are Holocaust survivor residents' perceptions of a life lived as they move into a long-term care facility? For this qualitative study, Holocaust survivors were individually interviewed. Findings emphasize that nursing care needs to ensure that Holocaust survivor residents participate in activities, receive timely health care, and receive recognition of their life experiences.
一个人年轻时的创伤性事件会对其应对晚年生活的方式产生影响。对犹太人来说，其中一次创伤经历就是大屠杀。这些人中的一些人正搬进长期护理机构。正是在这种背景下，研究问题出现了：大屠杀幸存者居民在搬进长期护理机构时，对他们所经历的生活有怎样的看法？在这项定性研究中，对大屠杀幸存者进行了单独访谈。研究结果强调，护理工作需要确保大屠杀幸存者居民参与活动、获得及时的医疗护理，并让他们的生活经历得到认可。
