摘要

一个社区的生活以一种社会结构为标志,这种社会结构赋予了人们生活的意义。转向机构生活的老年人面临着社会环境突然变化的问题,往往伴随着在社会结构中构建的社会身份的丧失。在包括印度在内的许多亚洲国家,相当多的老年人不是出于需要医疗支助的原因而转到养老院。传统的老年人机构生活研究侧重于机构生活的角色丧失和心理不适。目前的研究是关于机构的社会结构如何作为老年人形成联系和关系以构建新的有意义的身份的平台的反叙述。该研究采用了混合方法和顺序探索设计,从喀拉拉邦埃纳库拉姆的两个随机选择的老年人机构中抽样了62名老年人。研究结果表明,老年人在最初的机构转移过程中经历了角色丧失和身份危机,并通过建立网络和将自己定位为机构家庭成员而逐渐得到一定程度的补偿。来自住院医生的学位内中心性和对住院医生和专业人员的学位外中心性显著影响了受访者的“生活满意度”。研究结果表明,被收容的老年人依靠相互的联系和关系来重新发现他们的角色和身份,这反过来又有助于他们成功地变老。

Identity Reconstruction under Institutional Living and its Impact on Life Satisfaction among Older Adults

Identity Reconstruction under Institutional Living and its Impact on Life Satisfaction among Older Adults

Life in a community is marked by a social fabric that gives meaning to one’s life. Older adults shifting to institutional living face the problem of an abrupt change in their social environment, often paired with a loss of social identity that had been constructed within the social fabric. In many Asian countries, including India, a considerable number of older adults shift to institutions for reasons other than the need for medical support. Traditional research on older adults living in institutions focuses on the role loss and psychological discomforts of institutional living. The current study is a counter-narrative on how the social fabric of the institutions serve as a platform in which older adults form ties and relationships to construct a new meaningful identity. The research has employed a mixed methodology approach and a sequential exploratory design, sampling 62 older adults from two randomly selected institutions for seniors in Ernakulam, Kerala. The findings suggest that older adults experience a role loss and identity crisis during the initial transfer to institutions, which is gradually compensated to an extent through networking and identifying oneself as a member of the institutional family. In-degree centrality from fellow residents and out-degree centrality towards fellow residents and professionals in the institution significantly impact the ‘Satisfaction with Life’ of the respondents. The findings suggest that institutionalised older adults rely on reciprocal ties and relationships to rediscover their roles and identity, which in turn help them age successfully.

期刊介绍: As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
