Abstract

Objective: To explore the current status of successful aging (SA) and its associations with support provided by adult children among older adults in Jinan, China.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled older adults (age > 60 years) of 10 communities across Jinan between January 2021 and December 2022. Data were collected using successful aging inventory (SAI), the accepting support scale (SSA) and bringing support scale (SSB). Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were employed.

Results: A total of 197 older adults were included. The average SAI scores were 51.39 ± 0.552. Both SSA and SSB scores were significantly positively correlated with SA scores (all p < 0.01, r = 0.507 and 0.359, respectively). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the dimensions of accepting emotional support (p = 0.001), accepting material support (p = 0.001) and bringing service support (p = 0.028) were independently associated with SA score.

Conclusions: Older adults had moderate degrees of SA in Jinan. Accepting emotional support, accepting material support and bringing service support were significantly associated with SA. The results of the study may provide a reference for parents and children to develop care plans, new ideas for policy makers and caregivers to conduct geriatric care education and health maintenance.

济南市老年人成年子女社会支持与老龄成功的关系：一项横断面研究

目的：探讨济南市老年人成功老龄化（SA）现状及其与成年子女支持的关系。方法：本横断面研究于2021年1月至2022年12月期间招募济南市10个社区的老年人（年龄在50至60岁之间）。采用成功老化量表（SAI）、接受支持量表（SSA）和带来支持量表（SSB）进行数据收集。采用单因素分析和多元线性回归分析。结果：共纳入197名老年人。平均SAI得分为51.39±0.552。SSA评分和SSB评分与SA评分均呈显著正相关（p < 0.01， r分别为0.507和0.359）。多元线性回归分析显示，接受情感支持（p = 0.001）、接受物质支持（p = 0.001）和带来服务支持（p = 0.028）维度与SA得分独立相关。结论：济南市老年人存在中度SA。接受情感支持、接受物质支持和带来服务支持与SA显著相关。本研究结果可为家长及子女制定照护计划提供参考，也可为政策制定者及照护者进行老年照护教育及健康维护提供新思路。
