摘要
目的:广场舞可以帮助老年人体验生活的意义(MIL)。然而,广场舞是如何促进生命意义的仍不清楚。为了解决这个问题,我们研究了参与频率、超越体验和社会支持是否与生命意义正相关,以及年龄是否调节了超越体验与生命意义之间的相关性:我们对 268 名老年人进行了研究,通过面对面调查收集了有关年龄、参与频率、超越体验、社会支持和 MIL 的数据。我们使用层次回归法对数据进行了分析:结果:高参与频率、高超越体验和高社会支持同时预示着高水平的 MIL,而年龄则降低了超越体验和 MIL 之间的正相关关系:根据分层回归结果,我们建议采取以下策略来提高老年人的MIL水平:提供广场舞机会;与老年人一起提高广场舞技能以促进超越体验;引导老年人寻求社会支持来源。[老年护理研究》,17(3),141-147。]
Relationship Between Square Dancing and Meaning in Life Among Older Adults: Examining an Age-Based Moderation Model.
Purpose: Square dancing may help older adults experience meaning in life (MIL). However, it remains unclear how square dancing facilitates MIL. To address this question, we examined whether participation frequency, transcendent experiences, and social support correlated positively with MIL, and whether age moderated the correlation between transcendent experiences and MIL.
Method: We studied 268 older adults using in-person surveys to collect data on age, participation frequency, transcendent experiences, social support, and MIL. We analyzed data using hierarchical regression.
Results: High frequency of participation and high levels of transcendent experiences and social support simultaneously predicted high levels of MIL, and age decreased the positive relationship between transcendent experiences and MIL.
Conclusion: Based on the hierarchical regression results, we recommend strategies to increase older adults' MIL by providing square dancing opportunities; working with them to improve square dancing skills that facilitate transcendent experiences; and guiding them in seeking sources of social support.

期刊介绍:
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
