搬迁到养老院可能会有压力，可能会导致精神和身体上的疾病。评估，或分配给搬迁的意义，可以影响搬迁结果。本研究探讨了搬迁评估与30位养老院居民的心理和生理健康、士气、功能独立性以及年龄、性别、收入、教育程度、既往居住、参与搬迁决策和搬迁准备等人口统计因素和情境因素的关系。积极的、良性的和挑战性的评价与更高的士气和功能独立性相关。威胁评估与较差的心理健康和士气低落有关。损害损失评估与士气低落和功能独立性降低有关。搬家的准备与较高的积极评价、较高的士气、功能独立性和较低的伤害损失得分有关。影响包括需要评估人们对搬迁的评价，以便规划防止搬迁压力的战略。
Relocation to a nursing home can be stressful and may result in mental and physical illness. Appraisal, or the meaning assigned to relocation, can influence relocation outcome. This study examined the relationships between appraisal of relocation and 30 nursing home residents' psychological and physical health, morale, functional independence, and demographic and situational factors, including age, gender, income, education, prior residence, participation in the decision to relocate, and preparation for the move. Positive, benign, and challenge appraisals were related to higher morale and functional independence. Threat appraisal was related to poorer psychological health and lower morale. Harm-loss appraisal was associated with lower morale and lower functional independence. Preparation for the move was related to higher positive appraisal, higher morale, functional independence, and lower harm-loss scores. Implications include the need to assess people's appraisal of relocation so as to plan strategies that prevent relocation stress.
