Investigation of daily living situation after retirement, Isfahan, 2000

Retirement is a transition from one social role to another and it requires change of living pattern and adaptation with the new situation. Some of the retirees will experience preventable health care problems. There are about 6 millions old people that 2 to 3 millions of them are retirees and they need some special attention. This descriptive and analytical study was performed on a sample of 364 cases selected by simple sampling from retirees referring to the retirement center. The data was collected using retirement assessment questionnaire (R.A.Q). Our results showed that daily living situation of 54.9% of the retired people was relatively suitable, 41.4% suitable and 3.7% unsuitable. Some factors such as gender, health condition and planning a pre-retirement program were found to have a significant relationship with situation of daily living. Therefore, in spite of lack of prepared programs, living situation of most of the retirees was suitable and a minority of them suffered from some problems that more attention must be paid to them and pre-retirement programs should be planned for adapting with changes after retirement.
