Exploring the retirees’ needs and determinants of their adjustment during retirement: a qualitative study guided by Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model
Few studies using ecological systems theories, such as Bronfenbrenner's model, have explored the interrelationships of determinants at different levels to improve retirees' health, likely due to gaps in understanding the context and methodological approaches. This study paves the way for more systematic and operational research based on an ecological approach by examining the determinants of retirement adjustment and their interrelated relationships across levels.
