This interpretive grounded theory study explores 10 residents' retrospective accounts of the relocation process, including the decision to move into a long-term care home, the pre-move preparations, the moving day circumstances, and the initial adjustment period following the move. Analysis of the data revealed a complex intersection of conditions at multiple layers that shaped residents' experiences of the transitional process. Recommendations to enhance circumstances at individual, interpersonal, and systemic layers, for each temporal stage of the relocation process are proposed. Implications for social work practice across the continuum of care are also discussed.
这项解释性扎根理论研究探讨了10位居民对搬迁过程的回顾性叙述，包括搬进长期护理院的决定、搬迁前的准备、搬迁当天的情况以及搬迁后的初始适应期。数据分析揭示了多个层面条件的复杂交织，这些条件塑造了居民在过渡过程中的经历。针对搬迁过程的每个时间阶段，提出了在个人、人际和系统层面改善情况的建议。还讨论了对连续护理过程中社会工作实践的启示。
