Abstract

This scoping review explores circumstances surrounding the decision about, and eventual experience of, transitioning older adults into alternative levels of housing (ALH), such as long-term care. This topic is examined from a family member perspective, given their exposure and involvement in the care of older adult relatives during this transitional period. The scoping review methodology is based on the framework of Arksey and O'Malley and subsequent recommendations from Levac, Colquhoun, and O'Brien. Approximately 470 articles were reviewed covering the period between 2000 and November 2014; 37 articles met inclusion criteria. A temporal organization of themes was used to describe the experiences of family members in the pretransition, active transition, and posttransition periods of moving older adult relatives into ALH. This paper highlights the transitional period as a time of crisis, with a lack of planning, support, and transparent discussion. This study identifies a need for future research on the potential benefits of family support groups, interim transitional housing options, different models of ALH, changing roles in the posttransition period, and the need for a comprehensive list of housing options for older adults. Results have the potential to inform policy/practice and improve the lives of older adults and their family.

盎格鲁-撒克逊国家家庭成员向替代护理水平过渡的视角。
这一范围审查探讨了围绕老年人过渡到替代住房水平(ALH)(如长期护理)的决定和最终经验的情况。这个主题是从家庭成员的角度来研究的,因为他们在这个过渡时期接触和参与照顾年长的成年亲属。范围审查方法基于Arksey和O'Malley的框架以及Levac、Colquhoun和O'Brien的后续建议。在2000年至2014年11月期间,审查了大约470篇文章;37篇文章符合纳入标准。一个时间组织的主题被用来描述在过渡前,积极过渡和过渡后的过渡时期的家庭成员转移到老年亲属进入ALH的经验。本文强调过渡时期是一个危机时期,缺乏规划、支持和透明的讨论。本研究确定了未来需要对家庭支持团体的潜在利益、过渡性住房选择、不同的老年保健模式、过渡后时期的角色变化以及老年人住房选择的综合清单进行研究。研究结果有可能为政策/实践提供信息,并改善老年人及其家庭的生活。
