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.
