摘要

背景:人类是社会性生物。在描述成功的老龄化时,老年人通常更赞同社会参与,而不是身体健康。社会支持不足与老年人的各种不良健康结果有关,从身体健康到抑郁和自残。在本研究中,我们试图确定主观社会隔离(孤独)和客观社会隔离(以支持网络类型衡量)对社区居住老年人抑郁和幸福感的相对贡献。因此,本研究的目的是估计社区居住老年人的孤独和抑郁的患病率,并了解社会网络类型、孤独和抑郁之间的关系。研究对象和方法:横断面研究为期6个月。年龄在60岁及以上的个体被纳入研究,重病和卧床不起的患者被排除在研究之外。抽样方法为总体与大小之比,样本量为290。参与者使用半结构化问卷进行访谈,其中收集了人口统计和个人数据以及社会网络模式。使用老年抑郁症量表对抑郁症进行评估。数据分析采用Statistical Package for Social Sciences Software, 22.0版本。采用描述性统计,如百分比、平均值和标准差。采用卡方检验等推理统计检验,以P值< 0.05表示有统计学意义。结果:在研究对象中,44.3%的人感到孤独,19.4%的人感到绝望,只有38%的人对生活感到满意和幸福。48.6%的参与者出现“暗示性抑郁”,约20.2%的参与者出现“持续性抑郁情绪”。孤独解释了丧偶者患抑郁症的风险。同样,38.2%的人有非整合的社交网络,32%的人有整合的社交网络,他们也报告说自己很孤独。结论:孤独感和社交网络对老年人的情绪和幸福感都有独立的影响,是导致老年人抑郁情绪的重要因素。

Loneliness, social support networks, mood, and well-being among the community-dwelling elderly, Mysore
Background: Humans are social beings. Older adults more commonly endorse social engagement than physical health when describing successful aging. Deficits in social support have been associated with a wide variety of adverse health outcomes in older age, ranging from physical health to depression and self-harm. In this study, we attempt to identify the relative contributions of subjective social isolation (loneliness) and objective social isolation, measured as support network type, to depression and well-being among the community-dwelling elderly. Therefore, the objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of loneliness and depression and to know the relationship between social network type, loneliness, and depression among the community-dwelling elderly. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done for a period of 6 months. Individuals aged 60 years and above were included and severely ill and bed-ridden patients were excluded from the study. Sampling method used was population proportion to size with sample size of 290. The participants were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire, where demographic and personal data and social network pattern were collected. Depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Software, 22.0 version. Descriptive statistics like percentage, mean, and standard deviation were applied. Inferential statistical tests such as the Chi-square test were applied to find out the association and expressed it as statistically significant at a P value < 0.05. Results: Among the study participants, 44.3% were lonely, 19.4% felt hopeless, and only 38% felt satisfaction in life and happiness. "Suggestive Depression" was seen among 48.6% and "Persistent Depressive Mood" was seen in about 20.2% of participants. Loneliness explained the excess risk of depression in the widowed. Similarly, 38.2% had a nonintegrated social network and 32% had integrated social network who also reported being lonely. Conclusion: Loneliness and social networks both independently affect mood and well-being in the elderly, underlying a very significant proportion of depressed mood.
