An increasing number of older adults have moved to nursing homes in China. This study was to explore the adaptation of older adults' transition to nursing homes in mainland China. A qualitative study was conducted in two nursing homes in Nanjing, China. Data were collected from 11 residents and 5 staff members through purposeful sampling with semistructured interviews, and content analysis was performed. : Three themes were identified: Chinese culture, policy, and adaptation (staying modest and prudent, feeling shy to speak with males, familism suppressing the inner voice, and the new policy "combination of medical service and care" bringing benefits); the adaptation to nursing homes (poor quality of sleep and catering, relationship development, and emotional reactions); and needs of residents (emotional support, more interactions, and self-realization). Health care providers consider cultural assessments. Further work is expected to develop programs that help older adults adjust to nursing homes.
越来越多的中国老年人搬入养老院。本研究旨在探讨中国内地老年人入住养老院的适应过程。在中国南京的两家养老院进行了一项定性研究。通过目的抽样，对 11 名居民和 5 名工作人员进行了半结构化访谈，并进行了内容分析。确定了三个主题：中国文化、政策和适应（保持谦虚谨慎、与男性交谈时感到害羞、家庭主义抑制内心声音、新政策“医养结合”带来好处）；对养老院的适应（睡眠和餐饮质量差、关系发展和情绪反应）；以及居民的需求（情感支持、更多互动和自我实现）。医疗保健提供者考虑进行文化评估。希望进一步开展帮助老年人适应养老院的项目。
