Time experiences of 25 selected institutionalized adult clients were studied using the Time Experience Scale. Subject selection criteria were age, ability to comprehend written and oral English, institutionalization, and willingness to participate in the study. The findings suggest that institutionalized adult clients experienced time moving faster as they get older. Meaning, referring to concerns about dying and "attention to death," was found to be more important than past orientation, suggesting that institutionalized older adult clients were concerned about their time experience, its meaning, and influence on death. Nursing interventions could be directed toward increasing meaningful and purposeful activities, such as planned reminiscence therapy and reorientation techniques.
使用时间体验量表对25名选定的机构收容成年客户的时间体验进行了研究。受试者选择标准为年龄、理解书面和口头英语的能力、机构收容情况以及参与研究的意愿。研究结果表明，机构收容的成年客户随着年龄增长感觉时间过得更快。研究发现，涉及对死亡的担忧和“对死亡的关注”的意义，比过去导向更为重要，这表明机构收容的老年成年客户关心他们的时间体验、其意义以及对死亡的影响。护理干预措施可以针对增加有意义和有目的的活动，比如有计划的回忆疗法和重新定位技巧。
