Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of social resilience in providing community-based healthcare to older adults in Northeast Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 community-dwelling older adults in Maha Sarakham province, Thailand, and semi-structured interviews were conducted from 2020 to 2021. Interview transcripts were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach with multiple coders to triangulate findings. The results of the IPA show that, during the pandemic, social resilience was related to social distancing, social isolation, social control, social safety, and social support. The respondents identified that providing community-based healthcare during the pandemic was associated with primary care, rehabilitative care, healthcare delivery, health behaviors, and distress intolerance. These findings highlight that social reciprocity, preventative healthcare, residential care, and good healthcare practices are important aspects of resilience among community-dwelling older adults in times of pandemic.

COVID-19 期间老年人的社会复原力和社区医疗保健：现象学案例研究

本研究旨在探讨在 COVID-19 大流行期间，社会适应力在为泰国东北部的老年人提供社区医疗保健方面所起的作用。研究采用了有目的的抽样方法，在泰国玛哈沙拉坎府招募了 20 名居住在社区的老年人，并于 2020 年至 2021 年期间进行了半结构化访谈。访谈记录采用解释性现象学分析（IPA）方法进行分析，并由多个编码者对结果进行三角测量。IPA 的结果显示，在大流行期间，社会复原力与社会疏远、社会隔离、社会控制、社会安全和社会支持有关。受访者发现，在大流行期间提供社区医疗保健与初级保健、康复护理、医疗保健服务、健康行为和不耐受痛苦有关。这些研究结果突出表明，社会互惠、预防性医疗保健、住院护理和良好的医疗保健做法是社区老年人在大流行病期间恢复能力的重要方面。

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
