This article presents an intervention involving introduction of the theory of gerotranscendence and practical guidelines derived from the theory. A qualitative method was used with triangulation of methods in data collection and analysis. Both the theory of gerotranscendence and the theory of innovation were used as frameworks in the analysis. Introducing this new perspective constituted an abstract intervention. It involved nursing staff changing their interpretations and values with respect to ageing and their treatment of older people in ways not compatible with extant values. The 'early adopters' were staff members who felt acquainted with the essential ideas of the theory because they perceived in themselves a personal developmental process in line with the theory. The innovation attributes, described in the innovation theory, explained some of the problems associated with adopting the guidelines.
本文提出了一项干预措施，包括引入老年超越理论和由此衍生的实用指南。研究采用定性方法，在数据收集和分析中采用了多种方法的三角验证。老年超越理论和创新理论都被用作分析框架。引入这一新视角构成了一种抽象的干预措施。它涉及护理人员改变他们对衰老的解释和价值观，以及他们对待老年人的方式，这些方式与现有价值观不一致。“早期采用者”是那些对理论的基本思想感到熟悉的员工，因为他们认为自己的个人发展过程与理论相符。创新理论中描述的创新属性解释了一些与采用指南相关的问题。
