- Abstract
Theoretical Framework: Retirement is a transitional life event which requires an adaptation to change associated with biophysiological, psychological, and sociological vulnerabilities. It is unknown whether this transition interferes with the systemic dynamics of the families. Objectives: To understand how Portuguese families perceive their experience of transition to retirement. Methodology: Qualitative study conducted with 14 families of individuals who had recently retired and experienced changes and/or difficulties in this transition. Data were collected through interviews and analysed using NVivo10®. Results: Retirement influences not only the lives of retired individuals, but it also affects their family systems. Family members perceive this transition as having gains and losses and as bringing about the need to relearn how to Act, Feel and Be in family. Conclusion: Care provision in the transition to retirement should follow a very specific model of nursing intervention that combines the families’ uniqueness and the specificity of the changes brought about by this experience.
