摘要
目的:评估并比较一些辅助生活设施(ALF)中的老年人与社区居住的老年人的社会支持(SS)、社会参与(SP)和生活成就(LA)水平:评估并比较一些辅助生活设施(ALF)中的老年人和他们在社区居住的同龄人的社会支持(SS)、社会参与(SP)和生活成就(LA)水平。研究方法:来自尼日利亚的 120 名老年人(54 名 ALF,66 名 CD)参加了此次横断面调查。使用感知社会支持多维量表、参与量表和生活习惯问卷分别评估社会支持、社会支持和生活支持的水平。数据分析采用描述性统计、曼-惠特尼 U 检验和斯皮尔曼秩序相关(α水平为 0.05)。结果与 CD 组相比,ALF 组的参与限制(PR)明显更普遍(χ2 = 12.74; p = .01),但两组的 SS 水平相当。在总分上,CD 组的 LA 明显更好。在两组 ALF 中,LA 与 PR 有明显的相关性(r = -.44; p r = -.62; p 结论:LA 与 PR 的相关性较低:ALF 中的老年人获得了中等程度的 SS、LA 和较高的 PR,而 CD 中的老年人获得了较高的 SS 和 LA,但没有 PR。研究结果表明,老年人的社会参与和加强社区支持对于社区的可持续发展非常重要。
Social Support, Social Participation, and Life Accomplishment of Older Adult Residents of Assisted Living Facilities and Their Adjoining Communities.
Objectives: To assess and compare levels of social support (SS), social participation (SP) and life accomplishment (LA) among older adults in some assisted-living facilities (ALFs) and their community-dwelling (CD) peers. Methods: One hundred twenty older adults (54 ALF, 66 CD) from a Nigerian population participated in this cross-sectional survey. The Multidimensional Scale for Perceived Social Support, the Participation Scale and the Life Habit Questionnaires were used to evaluate levels of SS, SP, and LA, respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank order correlation, at .05 alpha level. Results: Participation restriction (PR) was significantly more prevalent among the ALF group compared to the CD group (χ2 = 12.74; p = .01) but the two groups enjoyed comparable level of SS. LA was significantly better for the CD group in the overall score. LA had significant correlation with PR in both the ALFs (r = -.44; p < .05) and CD (r = -.62; p < .05) group. Conclusions: Older adults in ALFs received moderate SS, had LA, and a high PR, while CD older adults received a high SS and LA but had no PR. The findings implicate that social participation and enhancing community support for older adults may be important for a sustainable community.
期刊介绍:
Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
