A phenomenon of interest for nursing is the facilitation of humanistic health care experiences and quality of life (Willis, Grace, & Roy, 2008 ). Inquiry into the concept of thriving as it manifests in the older adult residing in long-term care aligns with this interest. Thriving has been described by scholars in various disciplines but no context-specific definition for the LTC resident currently exists. Contrary to the generally held negative view of LTC, there is emerging evidence that older adult LTC residents "do well" or thrive in this environment.
护理领域一个值得关注的现象是促进人文关怀的医疗体验和生活质量（威利斯、格雷斯和罗伊，2008年）。探究蓬勃发展这一概念在长期护理机构中的老年人身上的体现，与这一关注点相契合。各个学科的学者都对蓬勃发展进行过描述，但目前尚无针对长期护理机构居民的特定情境定义。与人们对长期护理机构普遍持有的负面看法相反，有新证据表明，居住在长期护理机构中的老年人在这种环境中“表现良好”或蓬勃发展。
