Abstract

Peer to peer (P2P) support has been suggested as one community program that may promote aging in place. We sought to understand challenges older adults have maintaining their independence and to identify how P2P support facilitates independence. We completed 17 semi-structured interviews with older adults receiving P2P support in 3 cities in the United States. Study team members coded data using deductive and inductive conventional content analysis. Participants identified declining abilities, difficulties with mobility, and increasing cost of living as challenges to independence. P2P support facilitated independence and provided them with a new friend. The qualitative findings indicate that maintaining independence as an older adult in the United States has many challenges. P2P programs have an important role in helping older adults stay in their home by supporting mobility and promoting social engagement.

老年人对同伴支持项目和保持独立性的看法。

点对点(P2P)支持被认为是一种可能促进老龄化的社区计划。我们试图了解老年人维持独立性所面临的挑战，并确定P2P支持如何促进独立性。我们对美国3个城市接受P2P支持的老年人进行了17次半结构化访谈。研究小组成员使用演绎和归纳的传统内容分析编码数据。参与者认为能力下降、行动困难和生活成本增加是对独立的挑战。P2P支持促进了他们的独立，并为他们提供了一个新朋友。定性研究结果表明，在美国，老年人要保持独立有很多挑战。P2P项目通过支持流动性和促进社会参与，在帮助老年人留在家中发挥了重要作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
