养老院积极老龄化项目对心理健康和生活满意度的影响

在过去的几年里，人们对老龄化的看法发生了很大的变化。这些策略中有许多是针对没有身体或认知依赖的老年人实施的，而制度化的老年人并不是目标群体。本研究的主要目的是分析积极老龄化计划对机构老年人心理健康和生活满意度的影响。141名具有适当精神运动能力的老年人(Medad = 85.50岁，DT = 8.47岁)参加了一组实验，采用前后实验的方法，对照组和实验组。对照组参加有限的传统住院积极衰老项目(认知刺激和体育锻炼)，而实验组参加全面的积极衰老项目。干预后，实验组参与者在心理健康和生活满意度方面的平均得分增加，而对照组没有观察到变化，干预后12个月保持改善。这项研究表明，在养老院纳入一项全面的积极老龄化计划，包括促进赋权、参与和社会开放的措施，有助于维持感知到的福祉。为了促进积极老龄化，已经制定了大量的干预策略，为维持身体、心理和社会福祉提供了机会。这些策略大多针对没有生理认知依赖的人群，而制度化的老年人并未被视为目标群体。本研究的主要目的是分析积极老龄化计划对制度化老年人心理健康和生活满意度的影响。选取141名具有足够心理运动技能的参与者(Mage = 85.50岁，SD = 8.47岁)，并采用控制组和实验组的准实验前后测试设计。对照组参加了长期护理设施——认知刺激和身体活动——提供的传统有限主动衰老方案，而实验组参加了综合主动衰老方案。干预后，实验组的参与者在心理幸福感和生活满意度方面的平均价值有所改善，而对照组没有发现变化。有关改善in心理学well-beingand概念和生活着12月后面in The后续评估。本研究表明，在护理之家纳入全面的积极老龄化计划，包括旨在促进赋权、参与和社会开放的行动，有助于维持感知到的福祉。
