International research on long-term care (LTC) can valuably inform LTC policy and practice, but limited transnational collection of data on key LTC issues restricts the contributions of international LTC research. This special collection of helps close the gap between the status quo and the potential for international LTC research by cultivating a transnational common ground of internationally prioritized measurement concepts and sowing the seeds of international LTC common data elements. The articles in this special collection address both adaptive and technical challenges to international LTC measurement, build on and complement existing LTC measurement systems, and provide diverse international perspectives on the measurement of LTC across four overarching domains: , and . From large transnational teams of scholars specifying the meanings of central LTC concepts, to smaller subnational research teams testing new measures of person-centered care across diverse local LTC settings, contributors spark new insights and point in new directions for a LTC measurement infrastructure supportive of person-centered care and lifelong thriving.
国际长期护理（LTC）研究可为长期护理政策与实践提供宝贵参考，但关键长期护理问题的跨国数据收集有限，限制了国际长期护理研究的贡献。本专题论文集通过培育国际优先测量概念的跨国共同基础，并播下国际长期护理通用数据元素的种子，有助于缩小国际长期护理研究的现状与潜力之间的差距。本专题论文集中的文章探讨了国际长期护理测量所面临的适应性和技术挑战，在现有长期护理测量系统的基础上进行拓展和补充，并就长期护理在四个总体领域的测量提供了多样的国际视角： ，以及 。从大型跨国学者团队明确核心长期护理概念的含义，到较小的地方研究团队在不同的地方长期护理环境中测试以人为主的护理新措施，各贡献者激发了新的见解，并为支持以人为主的护理和终身繁荣的长期护理测量基础设施指明了新方向。
