这篇文章报告了一项研究，使用定量和定性的方法策略来了解中风后的晚年生活。一项针对加拿大老年人的全国性调查采用了定量方法来描述中风后幸福感的模式和相关关系。然后在社区居住的中风幸存者的单独样本中使用定性方法，以更好地了解中风影响晚年福祉的潜在意义和过程。综合研究结果表明，身体和认知残疾在很大程度上限制了中风幸存者的福祉，这主要是由于残疾对身份的影响。定量数据的统计交互效应表明，社会支持和教育资源调节了身体残疾对幸福感的不利影响。定性描述提供了对缓冲过程动态的进一步了解。总之，这两种方法可以更全面地了解中风后的主观幸福感。(C) 2003爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
This article reports on a study that uses both, quantitative and qualitative methodological strategies to understand well-being following a stroke in later life. A quantitative approach is taken with a national survey of Canadian seniors to describe the patterns and correlates of well-being following stroke. Qualitative methods are then used in a separate sample of community dwelling stroke survivors to gain a greater understanding of the underlying meaning and processes by which a stroke affects well-being in later life. Integrated findings illustrate that physical and cognitive disabilities considerably limit the well-being of stroke survivors, largely due to the effects of disability on identity. Statistical interaction effects in the quantitative data indicate that social supports and educational resources moderate the adverse effects of physical disability on well-being. The qualitative accounts provide further insight into the dynamics of this buffering process. Together, both methods permit a more comprehensive understanding of subjective well-being following stroke. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
