Abstract

Background

This study seeks to analyze the trajectories of residential satisfaction among older adults before and after relocation and explore the variability in the relationship between relocation and residential satisfaction based on changes in housing conditions during the relocation process.

Methods

Utilizing a nationally representative longitudinal dataset of older adults (N = 2718), this study employs individual-level fixed effect regression models to estimate the association between the timing of relocation and residential satisfaction. Stratified analyses are also conducted to explore how this association varies based on changes in housing conditions.

Results

Residential satisfaction tends to decrease before relocation, peaks at the time of relocation, and maintain higher levels as older adults adapt to their new environment. This adaptation process varies depending on changes in dwelling conditions during relocation, with transitions from poor to non-poor housing conditions positively affecting psychological responses, while moves from non-poor to poor conditions can lead to increased psychological burden and prolonged adjustment periods.

Discussion

Aging policies can prioritize programs that facilitate adjustment to new environments to improve residential satisfaction of older adults, thereby promoting healthy aging.

住房搬迁与搬迁后居住满意度：居住条件变化对社区老年人的影响。

背景：本研究旨在分析搬迁前后老年人居住满意度的变化轨迹，并探讨搬迁过程中居住条件变化对搬迁与居住满意度关系的变异性。方法：利用具有全国代表性的老年人纵向数据集（N = 2718），采用个体水平的固定效应回归模型来估计搬迁时间与居住满意度之间的关系。还进行了分层分析，以探讨这种关联如何根据住房条件的变化而变化。结果：老年人居住满意度在搬迁前呈下降趋势，搬迁时达到高峰，随着老年人对新环境的适应，居住满意度保持较高水平。这种适应过程取决于搬迁期间居住条件的变化，从恶劣的住房条件过渡到非恶劣的住房条件会对心理反应产生积极影响，而从非恶劣的住房条件过渡到恶劣的住房条件会导致心理负担增加和调适期延长。讨论：老龄化政策可以优先考虑促进老年人适应新环境的项目，以提高老年人的居住满意度，从而促进健康老龄化。

期刊介绍： The rapidly increasing world population of aged people has led to a growing need to focus attention on the problems of mental disorder in late life. The aim of the Journal is to communicate the results of original research in the causes, treatment and care of all forms of mental disorder which affect the elderly. The Journal is of interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, social scientists, nurses and others engaged in therapeutic professions, together with general neurobiological researchers. The Journal provides an international perspective on the important issue of geriatric psychiatry, and contributions are published from countries throughout the world. Topics covered include epidemiology of mental disorders in old age, clinical aetiological research, post-mortem pathological and neurochemical studies, treatment trials and evaluation of geriatric psychiatry services.
