The distribution of psychological aging and its correlation with age among people from elder care institutions

目的探索部分养老机构人群心理衰老程度的分布规律及其与年龄之间的关系,为养老机构开展针对性的养老服务提供指导。方法运用课题组自制量表收集调查对象心理学衰老现况资料;运用统计软件分析个体心理学衰老得分情况及其与年龄的相关性,以及不同年龄段各维度心理衰老得分的波动特点。结果共发放问卷500份,有效回收477份,回收有效率为95.20%,心理学衰老总分分布范围为7.76~18.81,认知功能、情绪、人格、动机与需要各维度衰老分值范围分别为1.69~7.77、1.25~5.00、1.66~3.32、1.55~4.90,不同年龄段各维度心理衰老得分有统计学差异,年龄与心理性衰老总分呈正相关性(r=0.409,P<0.001),各维度得分呈缓慢上升趋势,60~岁年龄组和70~岁年龄组出现上升波动。结论心理衰老分值随着年龄的增长而增长,其表现出的波动特点和规律对认识人体心理学衰老可提供有价值的参考。

Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of psychological aging and its correlation with age among people from elder care institutions, so as to provide guidance for geriatric care management. Methods A self-constructed：questionnaire of three dimensional aging scale was used to collect psychological aging irfformation among people from elder care institutions. The fluctuation characteristics of psychological aging scores and its correlation with age were analyzed by statistical software. Results Of total 500 distributed questionnaires, 477 were retrieved, with a response rate of 95.20%. The total score of psychological aging ranged from 7.76 to 18.81. The range of scores on dimension of cogni- tion, emotion, personality, motivation and needs was 1.69-7.77, 1.25-5.00, 1.66-3.32, and 1.55-4. 90, respectively. Psychological aging score varied significantly among people with different ages, showing an positive correlation with age （ r =0. 409, P 〈0. 001 ）. The scores of each dimension showed a slow rising trend, the 60- age and the 70- age groups increased significantly. Conclusions Psychological aging score increases with age and its fluctuation characteristics can pro- vide valuable reference for studying the aging of human psychology.
