Summary

Retirement is personal and complex. A number of theoretical approaches illuminate diverse retirement experiences. Providers may notice that their patients' retirements are less likely an abrupt or complete departure from employment and more likely a fluid process, typified by bridge job transitions, phased retirement, or labor market reentry. In an effort to fully appreciate the scope and association of retirement with physical, cognitive, and emotional health and social well-being, providers may consider engaging in conversations with patients about their: vocations and avocations; familial and sociocultural norms and expectations around work and retirement; and other contextual factors such as caregiving, social support networks, and access to technology and resources.
