城乡老年人认知能力与负性情绪的相关性

Relationship between cognitive ability and negative emotion of urban and rural elderly

目的:探讨城市和农村老年人认知能力、负性情绪的差异以及认知能力与负性情绪的关系。方法:采用蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA)、流调用抑郁自评量表(CES-D)、孤独量表(UCLA)、焦虑自评量表(SAS)对宁波市内多个街道、农村的113名老年人进行随机抽样调查。运用SPSS 22.0统计软件对数据进行t检验和相关分析。结果:①城乡老年人在焦虑水平上有显著差异,城市老年人的焦虑情绪显著高于农村老年人(t=2.37,P<0.05),城乡老人在孤独感、抑郁情绪上不存在显著差异;②在认知能力上,城市老年人水平显著高于农村老年人(t=2.14,P<0.05);③老年人的认知能力和孤独情绪,焦虑情绪存在显著负相关(r=-0.208,-0.198;P<0.05)。认知能力与抑郁情绪不存在显著相关。结论:①城市老年人的焦虑程度高于农村老年人;②城市老年人的认知水平优于农村老年人;③老年人的认知能力与焦虑、孤独心理问题有显著联系。老年人的认知能力老化会有更多焦虑、孤独感。
