当老年人面临与年龄有关的生活挑战时，预测会发生什么以及如何获得潜在的应对策略既可以预防危机，也可以提供更容易从危机中恢复的可能性。与衰老相关的准备（阿普）被定义为关于如何变老的思想和活动的连续体，通常从意识到与年龄相关的变化或对退休的预期开始，并以具体的临终愿望结束。在本文中，我们介绍了阿普的概念和相关配方的老龄化以及计划，描述了预测和阿普的阿普的几个领域的结果，并考虑在现有的社会政策的背景下的阿普的元素。我们得出结论，阿普是由各种影响决定的，既有老年人固有的影响（例如，个性、认知能力、对规划的信念、解决问题的技能），与社会阶层和教育有关，并依赖于家庭结构、获得选择、服务和当地社区资源的机会和知识以及社会政策。我们进一步提供的证据表明，阿普在退休前规划（退休调整），为未来的护理（情感健康）和ACP（一个好的死亡）的准备领域有积极的影响。然而，对老年人阿普的其他领域，包括休闲规划、住房和社会规划的研究不足。最后，我们讨论了现有研究的政策含义。
When older adults face age-related life challenges, anticipating what to expect and how to access potential coping strategies can both prevent and provide the possibility of easier recovery from crises. Aging-Related Preparation (ARP) is defined as the continuum of thoughts and activities about how to age well, often beginning with the awareness of age-related changes, or the anticipation of retirement, and concluding with specifying end-of-life wishes. In the current paper, we introduce the concept of ARP and related formulations regarding plans for aging well, describe both predictors and outcomes of ARP for several the domains of ARP, and consider the elements of ARP within the context of existing social policy. We conclude that ARP is determined by a variety of influences both intrinsic to the older person (e.g., personality, cognitive ability, beliefs about planning, problem-solving skills), linked to social class and education, as well as dependent on family structures, access to and knowledge of options, services, and local community resources, and social policy. We further provide evidence that ARP has positive effects in the domain of pre-retirement planning (for retirement adjustment), of preparation for future care (for emotional well-being), and of ACP (for a good death). However, other domains of ARP, including planning for leisure, housing, and social planning are under-researched. Finally, we discuss policy implications of the existing research.
