Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the importance and prevalence in the use of the term “aging well,” there has been an absence of an empirically valid aging well model for conceptualization and measurement of the phenomenon. The purpose of the study was to conceptualize and test a model for aging well. A sample of 554 non-institutionalized individuals was taken using primary sampling units (PSUs), and a higher-order confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test a model for aging well. This study confirmed a five-factor structure of aging well, including (a) daily life activity, (b) social resources and supports, (c) mental efficacy, (d) physical health and functional status, and (e) material security. Although all five dimensions strongly contribute to the aging well construct, the statistical results have shown that Social Resources and Support (SRS) and Daily Life Activity are the most important in explaining aging well. Material Security is the weakest latent variable in the model. The study indicates the model for aging well is a single, holistic, and multidimensional framework with a strong theoretical and empirical base.

社会支持和日常生活活动:老龄化的决定因素

尽管“老化井”这一术语的重要性和普遍性，但对于这一现象的概念化和测量，缺乏一个经验上有效的老化井模型。本研究的目的是概念化和测试老化井模型。使用初级抽样单元(psu)采集了554名非机构个体的样本，并进行了高阶验证性因子分析，以测试老化井模型。本研究确定了老年井的五因素结构，包括(a)日常生活活动、(b)社会资源与支持、(c)心理效能、(d)身体健康与功能状态、(e)物质保障。虽然这五个维度都对老龄化井的构建有重要影响，但统计结果表明，社会资源和支持(SRS)和日常生活活动在解释老龄化井中最重要。物质安全是模型中最弱的潜在变量。研究表明，井老化模型是一个单一的、整体的、多维的框架，具有较强的理论和实证基础。

期刊介绍： Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
