Abstract

Parental self-efficacy (PSE) is a central aspect of parenting research. Although parenting continues in older ages, few studies have focused on PSE among older adults. In line with the parenting determinant model, the study examined the associations between psychological distress, social support, loneliness, and PSE in older age.The study used a quantitative cross-sectional survey, including 362 Israeli parents age 65 years and above. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires of psychological distress, social support, loneliness, PSE, and background information.Results revealed that higher PSE was associated with lower psychological distress, higher social support, and a lower sense of loneliness in older adults. The research model explained 36.9 per cent of the variance in PSE among older adults.Mental state and social conditions are important for PSE of older adults; therefore, professionals should ensure the availability of diverse solutions to enable, maintain, and promote well-being through social and familial engagement in this population.

以色列老年人的父母自我效能感

父母自我效能（PSE）是育儿研究的一个核心方面。尽管养育子女在老年人中仍在继续，但很少有研究关注老年人的PSE。根据育儿决定因素模型，该研究考察了老年人的心理困扰、社会支持、孤独感和PSE之间的关系。这项研究采用了一项定量的横断面调查，包括362名65岁及以上的以色列父母。参与者被要求完成心理困扰、社会支持、孤独、PSE和背景信息的问卷调查。结果显示，老年人PSE越高，心理痛苦越低，社会支持越高，孤独感越低。该研究模型解释了36.9%的老年人PSE差异。心理状态和社会条件对老年人PSE很重要；因此，专业人员应确保提供多样化的解决方案，通过社会和家庭参与来实现、维持和促进这一人群的福祉。
