The purpose of this paper is to describe aspects of optimal aging from the perspective of the Neuman systems model. An overview of the model is presented followed by a discussion of usual stressors encountered as people age and their common responses to these stressors. The position taken is that optimal aging for an individual is not necessarily equated with high-level wellness but rather is the best possible aging for that individual. A Neuman systems model practice methodology tool is used to illustrate how to apply the model to determine the optimal level of aging for individuals with and without chronic illnesses.
本文旨在从纽曼系统模式的视角描述最佳衰老的各个方面。首先介绍该模式的概述，接着讨论人们随着年龄增长所遇到的常见压力源以及他们对这些压力源的常见反应。本文所持的观点是，个体的最佳衰老不一定等同于高水平的健康状态，而是该个体可能实现的最佳衰老状态。运用纽曼系统模式实践方法工具来说明如何应用该模式来确定患有和未患有慢性疾病的个体的最佳衰老水平。
