老年慢病患者自我感知老化与孤独感的相关性研究

Study on the correlation between self-perception of aging and loneliness in elderly patients with chronic diseases

目的:探讨自我感知老化与孤独感的相关性,从而为以降低孤独感为切入点来改善老年慢病患者消极的自我感知老化提供理论依据。方法:本研究采取多阶段随机抽样方法抽取548例石河子市2个社区卫生服务站的老年慢病患者,使用简版自我感知老化量表(B-APQ)和孤独量表(UCLA)进行问卷调查,运用SPSS20.0进行统计描述及分析。结果:老年慢病患者自我感知老化总得分为(48.82±7.66)分;孤独总得分为(35.50±9.57)分;Pearson相关分析显示,自我感知老化总分及各维度均与孤独呈显著正相关(r=0.542,P<0.01)。结论:拥有较强孤独感的老年慢病患者自我感知老化越消极,社区医护工作人员应采取有效干预方法减轻其孤独感,从而降低消极的自我感知老化,最终推进和实现成功老龄化。

Objective To explore the correlation between self-perceived aging and loneliness,so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving the negative self-perceived aging of elderly patients with chronic diseases by reducing loneliness as a starting point.Method This study adopted a multi-stage random sampling method to select 548 elderly patients with chronic diseases in 2 community health service stations in Shihezi City,and used the simplified self-perceived aging scale(B-APQ)and loneliness scale(UCLA)to conduct questionnaire surveys,Use SPSS20.0 for statistical description and analysis.Results The total score of self-perceived aging in elderly patients with chronic diseases was(48.82±7.66);the total score of loneliness was(35.50±9.57);Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total score of self-perceived aging and all dimensions were significantly positively correlated with loneliness(r=0.542,P<0.01).Conclusion Elderly chronically ill patients with strong loneliness have more negative self-perception of aging.Community medical staff should take effective interventions to reduce their loneliness,thereby reducing negative self-perception of aging,and ultimately promote and achieve successful aging.
