摘要

社会支持对人的生命和生存非常重要,尤其是在关键时刻。近来,尤其是在大流行病期间,全球各地的老年人都经历了社会支持的减少,从而降低了他们的生活质量。这项定性现象学研究探讨了社会支持和家庭关系对老年人福祉的影响。研究采用了有目的的抽样方法,招募了 12 名 60 岁或以上的成年人。研究结果表明,在大流行病期间获得情感、身体和经济支持的老年人在活动受限的情况下,拥有更多的幸福感和对生活的感激之情。研究得出结论,社会支持和加强与老年人的社会关系是弥合老年人护理与幸福之间差距的当务之急。研究建议改善家庭/朋友与老年人之间的社会关系,实施社会政策和社区支持计划,以缓解因缺乏社会支持而导致的孤独和抑郁。

Social Support and Familial Relationships for the Well-being of Older Adults in Nigeria Amidst COVID-19

Social support is important for human life and survival, especially during critical times. In recent times, especially during the pandemic, older adults across the globe have experienced a decline in social support, reducing their quality of life. This qualitative phenomenological study examined social support and familial relationships for the well-being of older adults. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 12 (twelve) adults aged 60 years or older. Findings from the study revealed that older adults who received emotional, physical, and financial support during the pandemic had greater well-being and appreciated life amidst the restrictions on activities. The study concludes that social support and strengthening social relationships with older people are imperative to bridge the gap between care and well-being among older people. The study recommends improved social relationships between family/friends and older people and the implementation of social policy and community support programs to cushion the effect of loneliness and depression caused by a result of lack of social support.

期刊介绍: This journal offers an outlet for articles that support social work as a human rights profession. It brings together knowledge about addressing human rights in practice, research, policy, and advocacy as well as teaching about human rights from around the globe. Articles explore the history of social work as a human rights profession; familiarize participants on how to advance human rights using the human rights documents from the United Nations; present the types of monitoring and assessment that takes place internationally and within the U.S.; demonstrate rights-based practice approaches and techniques; and facilitate discussion of the implications of human rights tools and the framework for social work practice.
