“…Retirement is a major life course event in adult life. How people adjust to the transition from work to retirement has gained increased interest in psychological research in recent years (e.g., Aspinwall 2005; Barbosa et al 2016;Bye and Pushkar 2009;Custers et al 2014;Wang and Shi 2014).…”

Drawing on self-determination theory, the present study examined how satisfaction of the basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) changes across the retirement transition and how need satisfaction was related to depressive symptoms across the retirement transition. Participants (N = 2655) were drawn from the HEalth, Ageing and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study. Latent growth curve modeling showed that autonomy need satisfaction increased across the retirement transition, whereas competence and relatedness remained relatively stable. Higher need satisfaction was related to less depressive symptoms at baseline, however, pre-retirement need satisfaction was not a statistically significant predictor of subsequent changes in depressive symptoms (or vice versa) across the retirement transition. At the within-person level, higher than usual need satisfaction at a specific time point was related to less than usual depressive symptoms. Need satisfaction may be an important factor to consider across the retirement transition and need satisfying activities prior, during, and after the transition may ease peoples' adjustment to retirement.

“…More recently, two survey studies and an observational study provided further cross-sectional support for the relationship between the satisfaction of all three basic psychological needs and wellbeing in nursing homes (Custers, Kuin, Riksen-Walraven, & Westerhof, 2011;Custers, Westerhof, Kuin, Gerritsen, & Riksen-Walraven, 2013;Custers, Westerhof, Kuin, & Riksen-Walraven, 2010). However to date, only one relevant longitudinal study in a nursing home context has been conducted, showing that satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs was related to depressive feelings of new residents 3 months after their admission to the nursing home (Custers, Cillessen, Westerhof, Kuin, & Riksen-Walraven, 2014). Clearly, additional longitudinal research is needed to test the relationship between the satisfaction of all three needs to both the affective and the cognitiveevaluative component of subjective well-being of physically frail nursing home residents.…”

Longitudinal Associations of Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competence With the Well-being of Nursing Home Residents

These results confirm that all three basic psychological needs are important for nursing home residents' well-being, with autonomy having the strongest and most consistent relationship to their well-being. Additionally, high satisfaction of one need does not compensate for low satisfaction of another. Supporting residents' needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence should, therefore, have a central role in nursing home culture-change interventions.

“…As human life activities and roles have meaning in each individual’s life, clinical practitioners including care workers should promote and enable the kind of care that allows for the maintenance of role activities based on resident values and life history. Healthcare providers should be trained to probe the psychological needs of residents in daily care [ 30 ]. To this end, care workers need to explore ways to better understand resident subjective needs, and shift mindset from care provision limited inside the facility to one that focuses on resident preferences.…”

Background: To promote active daily living and improve the quality of life of older facility residents, it is important that care staff understand their day-to-day activities and needs. However, only a few studies have examined the needs of older residents and how care workers understand them. This study aimed to examine the subjective needs of older residents at aged care facilities, care workers' understanding of these needs, and the gaps that exist between them.Methods: Structured interviews with older residents with no severe cognitive impairment in ten Japanese aged care facilities and a questionnaire survey of care workers were conducted in 2008 regarding resident subjective needs. The questionnaire, which had satisfactory factorial validity, internal consistency, and reproducibility, consisted of seven items on basic activities of daily living (BADL), five items on instrumental ADL (IADL), eight items on environment and lifestyle (EL), and five items on emotion (EM). Pair-wise analyses were performed to compare responses. Results:Responses of 115 pairs were analyzed (residents ≥75 years, 85 %; 21 men, 94 women). Median proportions of residents with IADL (66 %) and EL (69 %) needs were lower compared with those with BADL (83 %) and EM (91 %) needs. Median proportions of care workers understanding IADL (55 %) and EL (60 %) needs were lower compared with those understanding BADL (87 %) and EM (87 %) needs. Less than half of the care workers understood IADL needs for household chores (30 %) and money management (43 %), and an EL need for playing a role (41 %). Conclusions:Gaps were found between resident subjective needs and how care workers understood them. Specifically, care workers underestimated older residents' IADL and EL needs, especially with regard to playing a role. These results highlight the need for care workers to set goals based on each resident's subjective needs and plan strategies for care provision accordingly.
