目前,我国人口老龄化处于加速发展阶段,入住养老社区或机构已成为老年人较为流行的选择。城市养老社区中的老年丧偶妇女,物质生活基本已得到保障,但情感支持问题日渐凸显。伴随着配偶离世、子女分离以及生理和心理机能下降,其情感支持空缺,孤独情绪加重,严重影响了晚年生活。通过对苏州市C养老社区内老年丧偶妇女情感支持现状进行实地调查,进一步分析其问题与需求,建立支持性小组,帮助老年丧偶妇女构建起情感支持网络,缓解孤独情绪,进而为提高丧偶老年妇女的生活幸福感建言献策,并为社会工作积极应对老龄化扩充一个思路。

At present,China's population aging is in the accelerated development stage,and it has become a popular choice for the elderly to live in the elderly community or institution.The material life of the elderly widowed women in the urban old-age community has been basically guaranteed,but the problem of emotional support is increasingly prominent.With the death of their spouses,the separation of their children and the decline of their physical and psychological functions,their emotional support is vacant and their loneliness is aggravated,which seriously affects their later life.Through the field investigation on the emotional support status of the elderly widowed women in the C elderly care community in Suzhou,we further analyze their problems and needs,establish a support group,help the elderly widowed women build an emotional support network,relieve loneliness,and then make suggestions for improving the life happiness of the widowed elderly women,and expand a thinking for social work to actively cope with the aging.
