摘要

机构化通常与老年心理上的负面结果有关。乐观可以减轻痛苦,但人们对它在制度化环境中的作用知之甚少。在控制了潜在的协变量后,我们通过评估66名制度化的老年人,试图探索乐观的相关性,并确定它是否预测情绪健康变量。乐观情绪较低,与缺乏体育锻炼、尿失禁、焦虑增加、抑郁症状和孤独感以及对生活和积极影响的满意度降低有关。乐观预测情绪健康,尽管没有超过一些协变量。鉴于低乐观水平和相关因素,我们建议将个人资源作为干预目标。我们希望我们的研究结果能够启发研究,分析在机构老年人中促进乐观-有益的幸福组合的干预措施。

Optimism and Well-Being Among Institutionalized Older Adults
Institutionalization is often related to the psychologically negative outcomes of old age. Optimism could alleviate suffering, but little is known about its role in institutionalized settings. We sought to explore optimism correlates and to determine whether it predicts emotional well-being variables, after controlling for potential covariates, by assessing 66 institutionalized elderlies. Optimism was low and associated with failure to do physical exercise, urinary incontinence, increased anxiety, depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness, and reduced satisfaction with life and positive affect. Optimism predicted emotional well-being, albeit not over and above some covariates. Given the low optimism levels and the correlates, we suggest that intrapersonal resources could be intervention targets. It is our hope that our findings will inspire research to analyze interventions promoting optimism-beneficial combinations of well-being among institutionalized older adults.
