Abstract

Background/Purpose: This study explored psychosocial and health-related variables that influence successful aging among older adults with kidney function decline. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design that recruited 350 participants from two outpatient clinics by simple random sampling. Participants completed a set of health and psychosocial measures. Structural equation modeling was used to test a model. Results: The final model of successful aging consisted of optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and self-transcendence. The model explained 84% of the total variance. Optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and self-transcendence influenced both direct effects and indirect effects on successful aging. Additionally, self-transcendence was found to be a moderator between optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and successful aging. Conclusion: The results provide the context of understanding the significant predictors for successful aging in older people with kidney function decline. Interventions that increase the interplay of predictors are needed to assist this population.

肾功能下降的老年人成功衰老的因果模型

背景/目的：本研究探讨了影响肾功能下降的老年人成功衰老的心理社会和健康相关变量。方法：采用横断面设计，通过简单随机抽样从两个门诊诊所招募350名参与者。参与者完成了一系列健康和心理社会措施。使用结构方程建模来测试模型。结果：成功衰老的最终模型包括乐观、恢复力、健康状况感知和自我超越。该模型解释了84%的总方差。乐观、适应力、健康状况感知和自我超越对成功衰老的直接影响和间接影响。此外，自我超越被发现是乐观、韧性、健康状况感知和成功衰老之间的调节因素。结论：研究结果为理解肾功能下降的老年人成功衰老的重要预测因素提供了依据。需要增加预测因素相互作用的干预措施来帮助这一人群。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
