The purpose of this mixed research integrative review is to determine factors that influence relocation transitions for older adults who are considering a move from independent living to supervised housing, such as assisted living, using the Theory of Planned Behavior as a conceptual guide. PubMED, CINAHL, and PsychInfo databases were queried using key words: relocation, transition, older adults, and, elderly and time limited from 1992 to 2014. Sixteen articles were retained for review. The majority of articles, qualitative in design, reveal that older adults who comprehend the need to move and participate in the decision-making process of a relocation adjust to new living environments with fewer negative outcomes than older adults who experience a forced relocation. The few quantitative articles examined the elements of impending relocation using a variety of instruments but support the necessity for older adults to recognize the possibility of a future move and contribute to the relocation process. Additionally, the influence of family, friends, and health care providers provides the older adult with support and guidance throughout the process.
这项混合研究综合综述的目的是，以计划行为理论作为概念指南，确定影响考虑从独立生活搬到诸如辅助生活等受监督住房的老年人重新安置过渡的因素。使用关键词“重新安置”“过渡”“老年人”以及“年长者”，并将时间限制在1992年至2014年，对医学期刊数据库（PubMed）、护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL）和心理学文摘数据库（PsychInfo）进行了查询。保留了16篇文章以供综述。大多数文章在设计上属于定性研究，结果显示，理解搬家必要性并参与重新安置决策过程的老年人，与经历强制搬迁的老年人相比，在适应新居住环境时负面结果更少。少数定量研究文章使用了各种工具来研究即将进行的重新安置的要素，但也支持老年人认识到未来搬家可能性并参与重新安置过程的必要性。此外，家人、朋友和医疗保健提供者的影响在整个过程中为老年人提供支持和指导。
