摘要

摘要本研究的目的是描述新冠肺炎期间老年人对孤独、生活质量和与社区中心的联系的感知，为课程和活动提供信息。使用在线和电话调查对加拿大一个主要城市的265名老年人进行了一项描述性的混合方法研究。老年人的生活质量和社区联系较低，孤独感更强，但韧性成为一个强烈的主题。参与者认为，定期体育锻炼、通过技术与他人建立联系以及对事件和生活的哲学态度是应对身体距离的方法。社区中心需要积极继续在技术、课程和活动方面进行创新，并在新冠肺炎期间及以后与成员定期进行支持性沟通。

Older Adults’ Perspectives of Physical Distancing and the Community Center

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe older adults’ perceptions of loneliness, quality of life and connection to their community center during physical distancing to inform classes and events during COVID-19. A descriptive, mixed methods study using online and telephone surveys was conducted with 265 older adults in a major Canadian city. Older adults reported a lower quality of life and community connection and a greater sense of loneliness, however resilience emerged as a strong theme. Participants identified regular physical exercise, connection to others through technology and a philosophical approach to events and life as ways of coping with physical distancing. Community centers need to actively continue to innovate with technology, classes and events and provide regular, supportive communication with members during COVID-19 and beyond.

期刊介绍： Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
