This symposium addresses several challenges qualitative researchers from several countries encountered as they studied varied experiences of older adults in increasingly aging societies. Presenters have investigated interpersonal relationships within institutional settings (Washburn & Williams), the phenomenology of becoming an older person (Washburn & Williams), late-life re-partnering and its influences on intergenerational family relations (Koren), and health beliefs of older Latinos with cancer (Carrion & Nedjst-Haiem). Among the challenges the presenters have faced are addressing the ethical rights of special populations such as older persons living with dementia (Roes & Panke-Kochinke) and how best to approach older members of various ethnic backgrounds to participate in a research study (Carrion & Nedjst-Haiem).
