EXPLORING A NEW THEORY OF SUCCESSFUL AGING AMONG LOW-INCOME OLDER ADULTS IN AN INDEPENDENT AND ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY Valerie Lander McCarthy July 29, 2009 BACKGROUND: Current successful aging theory excludes individuals with disease or disability, limits the potential for successful aging in minority and lower socioeconomic populations, focuses on behavioral determinants of health rather than social and environmental determinants, and fails to consider older adults' own criteria for successful aging. A recent mid-range nursing theory (Flood, 2005) proposed that two factors adaptation and gerotranscendence are primary contributors to a new view of successful aging that may address these problems. PURPOSE: The goal of the study was to investigate relationships among adaptation, transcendence, and successful aging to explore the potential of Flood's (2005) theory to serve as a guide to nursing research, practice, and policy. METHODS: A cross-sectional slirvey study was conducted among a stratified, random sample (N= 112) of non-demented older adults living independently or receiving assisted living services in an urban low-income continuing care retirement community.
