Exploring the retirees' needs and determinants of their adjustment during retirement: a qualitative study guided by Bronfenbrenner's ecological model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRetirement is a major life transition that introduces various bio-psycho-socio-spiritual challenges, requiring individuals to adapt to new financial, social, and existential realities. While previous studies have examined specific aspects of retirees' needs, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing retirement adjustment remains limited. This study explores retirees' needs and determinants of adjustment using Bronfenbrenner's ecological model as a guiding framework.
methodsThis qualitative study employed a directed qualitative content analysis approach, utilizing semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 42 key informants. Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman's qualitative content analysis framework, identifying key themes and categories.
resultsA total of 152 codes were categorized into Bronfenbrenner's ecological model levels. At the microsystem level, retirees focus on financial stability, health, and social well-being. The mesosystem highlighted the role of family, social groups, and community support. The exosystem involved institutions such as retirement offices, healthcare providers, and media in shaping retirees' experiences. The macrosystem reflected societal norms, economic policies, and cultural expectations influencing adjustment. Finally, the chronosystem captured the impact of life transitions, technological changes, and evolving social roles on long-term adaptation.
conclusionsFew 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.
