We used the Self-Concept Enhancement Tactician (SCENT) model to explore whether older Norwegians and Canadians would tactically self-enhance on qualities considered significant within their cultures in their self-perceptions of aging. Qualities were measured using the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD. Self-perceptions of aging were measured by the Attitudes to Aging Questionnaire. The study is a secondary analysis of data collected in a larger study; 393 older Norwegians and 202 older Canadians were included. The Norwegian and Canadian group self-enhanced their perceptions of psychosocial loss based on harmonious social relationships and being part of a larger social group. For self-perceptions of physical change, both groups self-enhanced on being self-sufficient and being part of a larger social group. Our findings suggest that Norwegians and Canadians are not highly individualistic people and also provide evidence of a bicultural self-perception of aging. Nurses should consider how cultural and individual perspectives affect the care priorities of older people.

我们使用自我概念增强战术家 (气味) 模型来探索年龄较大的挪威人和加拿大人是否会在战术上自我增强其文化内在对衰老的自我认知中被认为具有重要意义的素质。使用WHOQOL-BREF和WHOQOL-OLD测量质量。通过对衰老的态度问卷来衡量对衰老的自我认知。该研究是对更大研究中收集的数据的二次分析; 包括393名挪威老年人和202名加拿大老年人。挪威和加拿大团体基于和谐的社会关系并成为更大的社会群体的一部分,自我增强了他们对社会心理损失的看法。对于身体变化的自我感知,这两个群体都可以自给自足并成为更大的社会群体的一部分。我们的发现表明,挪威人和加拿大人不是高度个人主义的人,并且还提供了对衰老的双文化自我感知的证据。护士应考虑文化和个人观点如何影响老年人的护理重点。
