Abstract

Little is known concerning the association between community care services availability and quality of life. The objective of the present paper is to examine the association between community care services availability and quality of life. The data were sourced from 2018 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Ordered logit regression models were applied to examine the correlation of community care services availability and quality of life. Both binary logit regression models and generalized random forest models were used for robustness checks. There is a strong positive relationship of community care services availability and quality of life (coefficient = 0.3103, p < 0.01). Robustness checks using binary logit regression models and generalized random forest models report similar results. Heterogeneity analysis results reveal that the relationship of community care services availability and quality of life differs by age, gender, and residency area. Impact channel analysis results show that social participation is a channel involving the association of community care services availability and quality of life. It is of great significance for Chinese government to improve community care services availability.

老年人社区护理服务可获得性与生活质量之间的关系：来自中国的证据

关于社区护理服务的可得性和生活质量之间的关系，人们所知甚少。本论文的目的是检查社区护理服务的可用性和生活质量之间的关系。数据来源于2018年中国健康寿命纵向调查（CLHLS）。运用有序logit回归模型检验社区照护服务可得性与生活品质的相关性。采用二元logit回归模型和广义随机森林模型进行稳健性检验。社区护理服务的可获得性与生活质量呈显著正相关（系数= 0.3103,p < 0.01）。鲁棒性检查使用二元logit回归模型和广义随机森林模型报告类似的结果。异质性分析结果显示，社区照护服务可及性与生活品质的关系因年龄、性别、居住地区而异。影响渠道分析结果表明，社会参与是一个涉及社区护理服务可获得性与生活质量关联的渠道。提高社区护理服务的可获得性对我国政府具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to publish conceptual, methodological and empirical papers dealing with quality-of-life studies in the applied areas of the natural and social sciences. As the official journal of the ISQOLS, it is designed to attract papers that have direct implications for, or impact on practical applications of research on the quality-of-life. We welcome papers crafted from interdisciplinary, inter-professional and international perspectives. This research should guide decision making in a variety of professions, industries, nonprofit, and government sectors, including healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, and human resource management. The goal is to help decision makers apply performance measures and outcome assessment techniques based on concepts such as well-being, human satisfaction, human development, happiness, wellness and quality-of-life. The Editorial Review Board is divided into specific sections indicating the broad scope of practice covered by the journal. The section editors are distinguished scholars from many countries across the globe.
