摘要

摘要随着世界各地致力于老年友好进步的地区数量的增加,人们对产生系统性和长期老年友好社区(AFC)影响的过程和背景越来越感兴趣。我们的研究旨在通过探索社区活动作为从业者实现AFC目标的机制来推进这一领域的研究。我们使用了核心团队的半结构化访谈数据,这些团队参与了对新泽西州八项赠款资助的AFC倡议的多年发展评估。我们采用了基于建构主义的理论方法来分析数据,重点关注亚足联领导人如何促进事件以及他们认为事件的价值。调查结果强调了组织间环境对活动规划和实施的中心作用,以及亚足联领导人相对于其他社区行为者的独特定位。结果进一步表明,亚足联领导人认为,这些活动立即惠及老年人和当地组织合作伙伴,同时也具有长期战略价值,包括加深老年人对亚足联倡议的参与,为核心团队提供了解社区老龄化的机会,以及扩大亚足联倡议在社区的影响力。我们在社区建设框架内解释了这些发现,理论上认为事件可以战略性地建立关系能力,以在更广泛的社区系统中保持对年龄友好的进步。

Community events as part of age-friendly community practice
ABSTRACT As the number of localities committing to age-friendly progress increases worldwide, there is growing interest in the processes and contexts that lead to systemic and long-term age-friendly community (AFC) impact. Our study aimed to advance research in this area by exploring community events as a mechanism through which practitioners work toward AFC goals. We used semi-structured interview data with core teams that participated in a multi-year developmental evaluation of eight grant-funded AFC initiatives in New Jersey. We employed a constructivist grounded theory approach to analyze the data, focusing on how AFC leaders facilitate events and what they perceive as the value of events. Findings highlighted the centrality of an inter-organizational context for event planning and implementation, as well as the unique positioning of AFC leaders relative to other community actors. Results further indicated that AFC leaders view events as immediately benefiting older adults and local organizational partners, while also having longer-term strategic value, including by deepening older adults’ engagement with the AFC initiative, providing opportunities for core teams to learn about aging in community, and expanding the AFC initiative’s community presence. We interpret these findings within a community-building framework, theorizing that events can strategically build relational capacity to sustain age-friendly progress within broader community systems.
