Abstract

Abstract This study explored the effect of past traumatic losses on the well-being of elderly men, focusing on losses related to the Nazi Holocaust and on traumatic personal losses of significant others. Two issues were addressed: the relationships between past traumatic losses and well-being in aging and the interaction between past traumatic losses and current age-related losses (work loss, health loss, financial loss, and social loss). Data were collected from 60 elderly men via a semistructured interview. Past traumatic losses were found to have an impact on well-being in aging. However while Holocaust losses had a negative impact, traumatic personal losses had a positive impact. In addition, health loss in aging tended to negatively affect well-being. Interactions were found between past traumatic losses and aging losses in predicting well-being in aging. Results are discussed within the vulnerability and inoculation perspectives.

过去的创伤性损失及其对老年人福祉的影响

摘要本研究探讨了过去创伤性损失对老年男性幸福感的影响，重点关注与纳粹大屠杀有关的损失和重要他人的创伤性个人损失。讨论了两个问题:过去的创伤性损失与老龄化中幸福感之间的关系以及过去的创伤性损失与当前与年龄有关的损失(工作损失、健康损失、经济损失和社会损失)之间的相互作用。通过半结构化访谈收集了60名老年男性的数据。过去的创伤性损失被发现对老年人的幸福感有影响。然而，尽管大屠杀损失产生了负面影响，但创伤性个人损失却产生了积极影响。此外，衰老带来的健康损失往往会对幸福感产生负面影响。相互作用发现在过去的创伤损失和老化损失在预测老年人的福祉。结果从脆弱性和接种的角度进行了讨论。
