The purpose of this qualitative descriptive transcultural study was to explore the meaning of retirement for those older people who have lived as performing artists and who are presently sharing communal living at the Casa Verdi di Riposo, Milan, Italy. Parse's nursing theory was the conceptual framework utilized to structure objectives and interview questions. Findings showed that the meaning of retirement for these communally-living retired performing artists is the emerging of an unburdening lightness as esthetic interconnections surface the was and will-be in the now moment as the diversity of everydayness enlivens through communion-solitude while anticipating the transposing vistas of the inevitable prompts treasuring the now in confirming a perpetual artistic legacy. Findings were congruent with Parse's three major themes (meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence) and support Parse's theory of human becoming, as well as expanding the body of nursing knowledge on the phenomenon of retirement.
这项质性描述性跨文化研究的目的是探讨退休对于那些曾是表演艺术家、目前居住在意大利米兰威尔第安息之家共同生活的老年人而言的意义。Parse的护理理论是用于构建目标和访谈问题的概念框架。研究结果表明，对于这些共同生活的退休表演艺术家来说，退休的意义在于一种解脱的轻松感的出现，这种轻松感源自审美联系在当下浮现出过去与未来，日常的多样性通过交流与独处得以活跃起来，同时期待着不可避免之事的转变视角，从而促使人们珍惜当下，以确认一份永恒的艺术遗产。研究结果与Parse的三个主要主题（意义、节律性和超越）相一致，支持了Parse的人类生成理论，同时也扩展了关于退休现象的护理知识体系。
