| Popis: | Purpose This article aims to define the concept of maintenance of continuity in older adulthood (MCOA) and assist nurses to better understand the concept of MCOA. Methods The method by Walker and Avant was used for this concept analysis. Findings In the literature, MCOA is defined as a psychosocial adaptation strategy by searching for preference and familiarity, making a sense of connection, and creating coherence. Conclusions MCOA has potential to improve psychosocial adjustment to difficult life transitions as a coping mechanism. Implication for nursing practice Insights about MCOA in nursing may contribute to improved patient care outcomes by assisting nurses to understand the elderly's experience during age-related challenges from a life course perspective. |
