摘要

背景：有人认为，接触将老年与风险/虚弱混为一谈的COVID-19信息会对老年人的个人主体意识（即控制自己生活的能力感）产生负面影响。目的：本定性研究旨在确定老年人如何看待COVID-19早期公共信息中的这种脆弱性叙述，以及这可能如何影响他们的个人代理。方法：对马尼托巴省15名居住在社区的老年人进行半结构化访谈，并采用归纳主题分析方法进行分析。研究结果：研究结果表明，早期的COVID-19公共卫生信息使脆弱性与年龄增长之间存在关联，从而增加了参与者对年龄相关风险的感知。作为回应，许多参与者描述了参与某些行动（例如，生活方式行为，遵循公共卫生协议，应对机制）以潜在地增加他们的个人能动性。讨论：这项研究表明，与老年人有关的公共信息的创造者必须注意它可能助长脆弱性叙事的方式。

Early COVID-19 Public Messaging and its Impact on Older Adult Demonstrations of Personal Agency.

Background: Exposure to COVID-19 messaging that conflates older age with risk/infirmity has been suggested to have negative effects on older people's sense of personal agency (i.e., sense of capacity to exercise control over one's life).

Objectives: This qualitative study sought to determine how older adults perceived this vulnerability narrative within early COVID-19 public messaging and how this may have influenced their personal agency.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 15 community-dwelling older adults in Manitoba were completed and analysed using inductive thematic analysis.

Findings: Study findings suggest that early COVID-19 public health messaging created associations between vulnerability and older age that increased the participants' sense of age-related risk. As a response, many participants described engaging in certain actions (e.g., lifestyle behaviours, following public health protocols, coping mechanisms) to potentially increase their feelings of personal agency.

Discussion: This study suggests that creators of public messaging pertaining to older age must be mindful of the ways that it may fuel a vulnerability narrative.
