Abstract

Background: This study examined how frailty, depression, and loneliness impact ego-integrity among the community-dwelling elderlyMethods: The study participants comprised 187 elderly people in J-province. Data collected in October 2018 via structured self-report questionnaires were used to assess the participants’ general characteristics, frailty, depression, loneliness, and ego-integrity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.Results: Significantly positive correlations were found among frailty, depression, and loneliness. Ego-integrity showed significantly negative correlations with frailty, depression, and loneliness. Finally, loneliness was a significant factor, explaining about 28.7% of the variance on ego-identity.Conclusions: The study’s findings suggest that an intervention focused on reducing loneliness would improve ego-integrity among the elderly.

脆弱、抑郁和孤独对社区老年人自我完整性的影响

背景:本研究探讨了脆弱、抑郁和孤独对社区居住老年人自我完整性的影响。方法:选取j省187名老年人作为研究对象。2018年10月通过结构化自我报告问卷收集的数据用于评估参与者的一般特征、脆弱、抑郁、孤独和自我完整性。数据分析采用描述性统计、独立t检验、单因素方差分析、Pearson相关系数和多元回归。结果:虚弱、抑郁、孤独感呈显著正相关。自我完整性与脆弱、抑郁、孤独呈显著负相关。最后，孤独是一个显著因素，解释了28.7%的自我同一性差异。结论:研究结果表明，减少孤独感的干预可以提高老年人的自我完整性。

期刊介绍： The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress. Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration. Specific approaches may include transgenic/knockout animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
