“空巢”老人精神贫困现状及救助对策研究

The Status Quo of Spiritual Poverty of Empty Nest Elders and the Salvation Measures

近些年来,我国"空巢"老人的规模在持续扩大,研究"空巢"老人精神贫困问题具有重要的理论和实践意义。来自于心理层面、社会支持层面、家庭层面的因素是导致"空巢"老人精神贫困的主要原因,其表现为亲情感淡薄;普遍存在孤独、寂寞、自我封闭的心理;参与迷信活动或沉迷于养生消费。解决好"空巢"老人精神贫困问题,需要"空巢"老人自身以及家庭成员共同努力、社会关注并积极参与、强化政府主体责任等多方面救助对策的综合应用。

In recent years, the number of empty nest elders is increasing in China. In this connection, it is significant both in theoretical and practical terms to study the spiritual poverty of these elders, which are caused by psychological, social support, and family factors. The poverty is in various forms such as weak family affection, loneliness and self-enclosed psychology, participation in superstition activities and addiction in health consumption. In order to alleviate the spiritual poverty, joint efforts must be made by both the elder people and their family members. Other salvation measures could be taken like community concern and participation and the entity responsibility of the government.
