This study explores older adults' perspectives on healthy living, and their interactions with professionals regarding healthy living. This perspective is necessary for health professionals when they engage in tailored health promotion in their daily work routines. In a qualitative study, 18 semi-structured interviews were carried out with older adults (aged 55-98) living in the Netherlands. The framework analysis method was used to analyze the transcripts. Three themes emerged from the data-(a) healthy living: daily routines and staying active, (b) enacting healthy living: accepting and adapting, (c) interaction with health professionals with regard to healthy living: autonomy and reciprocity. Older adults experience healthy living in a holistic way in which they prefer to live active and independent lives. Health professionals should focus on building an equal relationship of trust and focus on positive health outcomes, such as autonomy and self-sufficiency when communicating about healthy living.
本研究探讨了老年人对健康生活的看法,以及他们在健康生活方面与专业人员的互动。当健康专业人员在日常工作中进行量身定制的健康促进时,这种观点是必要的。在一项定性研究中,对居住在荷兰的18名老年人(年龄在55 - 98岁之间)进行了半结构化访谈。采用框架分析方法对访谈记录进行分析。数据中出现了三个主题:(a)健康生活:日常生活与保持活力;(b)践行健康生活:接受与适应;(c)在健康生活方面与健康专业人员的互动:自主性与互惠性。老年人以整体的方式体验健康生活,他们更喜欢积极、独立地生活。在就健康生活进行沟通时,健康专业人员应注重建立平等的信任关系,并关注积极的健康成果,如自主性和自给自足。
