“…Perhaps because they have experienced many challenges over the course of their lifetime, older adults often keep valued objects that serve as unchanging symbols of the person’s story. Possessions can be a source of great pleasure, from the moment we obtain the desired item to the moment we discover forgotten cherished objects (Luu & Woody, 2017). In the disbandment process, these cherished objects come together as time and place are repacked.…”

“…Another aspect that might negatively affect the well-being of older adults who are considering relocating to CCRCs is their attachment to their previous home (Dupuis-Blanchard, Neufeld, & Strang, 2009). When older adults relocate to smaller living spaces, they sometimes perceive the move as a loss of part of their self (Janning, 2017), because personal possessions have historically served to convey not only status and style but also personality (Luu & Woody, 2017). Personal belongings have also been found to be linked to a sense of independence, identity, and privacy (Heywood, 2005).…”

We examined the role of possessions in the process of moving and adjusting to continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Totally, 59 CCRC residents in 12 CCRCs were interviewed. We categorized three main types of residents: "I want it all," "I want it that way," and "I want to break free." Each type experienced differently the role that objects play in (a) the reasons for moving, (b) choosing a CCRC and a specific apartment, (c) organizing one's belongings in preparation for relocation, and (d) adjusting to the new apartment. Most residents were attached to their belongings and reported having great difficulty leaving them behind. Our findings suggest that while older adults should be given every possible opportunity to make their own choices about their belongings, it is also necessary to balance between the desire to maintain continuity with their past, and the limited space of a CCRC apartment.

İstifleme bozukluğu, bireyi ve birlikte yaşadığı tüm aileyi etkileyen, halk sağlığı riskini ortaya çıkaran ciddi psikiyatrik bir problemdir. İstifleme bozukluğunun sağlık ve güvenlik açısından ortaya çıkardığı riskler bireye, aileye ve dolaylı olarak topluma sosyal ve ekonomik zarar vermektedir. Bu nedenle istifleme bozukluğu olan kişilere ulaşılması ve tedavi edilmelerinin sağlanması etkili sosyal hizmet müdahalesini ve profesyonel mesleklerin işbirliği yapmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda hazırlanan çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı refah alanı, halk sağlığı, tıbbi ve psikiyatrik hizmetlerde görevli sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının istifleme bozukluğu olan birey ve aileye yönelik yapacakları çalışmalarında etkili olabilecek mesleki müdahaleye ilişkin bazı teknikleri ve yaklaşımları yol gösterici olacak şekilde sunmaktır. Çalışma, istifleme bozukluğu ve bozukluğun kişi, aile ve toplum üzerindeki etkileri, istifleme bozukluğunda sosyal hizmet müdahalesine yönelik bilgiyi içermektedir. Çalışmada yer alan bilgilerin tıbbi ve psikiyatri hizmetlerinde görevli sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının istifleme bozukluğu birey ve ailelerine yönelik yaptıkları mesleki çalışmalardaki bilgi gereksinimlerini karşılayacağı düşünülmektedir.
