摘要
Mid-life transition is a passage from young adulthood to old age, which can be expressed from transition concept--five attributes and four types of transitions. Mid-life changes that occur over several years, usually between the ages of 40 and 60. Common "disconnectedness" issues during this period such as menopause will occur during mid-life. Individuals become increasingly aware of the special nature of physiological and psychological changes that take place, and express a complex combination of feelings and response patterns in light of these changes. Middle-aged adults often face multidimensional issues related to developmental transition, changes in family structure related to organization transitions, life events related to situational transitions, and perimenopausal changes related to health transitions. Nurses who provide care to middle-aged clients need to consider transitional issues from a multidimensional and holistic perspective.
