Abstract

This study identified the prevalence of factors influencing elderly women's decisions concerning their living room items during relocation. The 36 participants lived alone in identical one-bedroom apartments and had relocated within one year prior to the time this study was initiated. A structured focused interview consisting of open-ended questions was used to collect the data. Responses to open-ended questions were tape-recorded, transcribed, and content-analyzed. The prevalence of factors influencing decisions to eliminate, retain, and acquire furniture, accessories, and decorative items pertained to the usefulness of items, spatial dimensions, building regulations, family attachments, gifts, and the decorative compatibility of items with the living room.
