To explore nursing home relocation experiences of overseas-born, culturally and linguistically diverse elderly.
Using a grounded theory approach, interviews were conducted with 20 residents of four nursing homes in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
Consistent with the grounded theory method, the initial objectives of exploring the participants' nursing home relocation experience focused on the pathways they had taken en route to nursing homes and the strategies used to bring their cultures with them.
Participants made little suggestion that culture was an important consideration in their decision making about responding to loss or moving to the nursing home until they began discussing offers of care from their family. Cultural considerations are important factors in assessing the quality of a nursing home and in strategies used for settling into the home. Notably, many of the cultural practices and meanings described by residents were common to many cultures and were experienced by older adults as culturally meaningful.
探讨在海外出生、文化和语言背景多样的老年人在养老院搬迁方面的经历。
采用扎根理论方法，对澳大利亚墨尔本北郊四家养老院的20名居民进行了访谈。
与扎根理论方法一致，探索参与者养老院搬迁经历的最初目标集中在他们前往养老院途中所采取的途径以及将自身文化带至养老院所采用的策略。
参与者几乎没有提出文化是他们在应对损失或搬入养老院决策时的重要考虑因素，直到他们开始讨论来自家人的护理提议。文化因素是评估养老院质量以及用于适应养老院生活的策略中的重要因素。值得注意的是，居民所描述的许多文化习俗和意义在许多文化中都很常见，并且老年人认为这些具有文化意义。
