尽管对性和伴侣关系的渴望是连续的,但许多老年人在晚年缺乏亲密关系。辅助生活的使用是理解老年人的伙伴关系,性和亲密关系问题的一个复杂因素。通过对23名辅助生活居民的深入访谈和扎根理论方法,我们研究了居民如何在辅助生活中协商缺乏亲密关系。谈判过程涉及三个因素:愿望、障碍和策略。虽然一些居民继续渴望亲密关系,但在我们的研究地点明显缺乏约会或亲密关系。调查结果突出了独特的障碍,采取行动的愿望和居民使用的战略,调整行动之间的愿望和障碍。这项研究扩展了以前的性行为和老年人的研究,通过研究他们通过在辅助生活环境中使用策略来平衡欲望和障碍的复杂方式。
Despite continuity in the desire for sex and partnership, many older adults experience a lack of intimacy in late life. The use of assisted living is a complicating factor for understanding issues of partnership, sex, and intimacy for older adults. Using in-depth interviews with 23 assisted living residents and grounded theory methods, we examined how residents negotiate a lack of intimacy in assisted living. The process of negotiation entailed three factors: desire, barriers, and strategies. Although some residents continued to desire intimacy, there was a marked absence of dating or intimacy in our study sites. Findings highlight unique barriers to acting on desire and the strategies residents used as aligning actions between desire and barriers. This research expands previous studies of sexuality and older adults by examining the complex ways in which they balanced desire and barriers through the use of strategies within the assisted living environment.
