目的:分析天津市社区中老年人群对老年精神卫生知识的知晓情况,并探究其影响因素。方法:采用多阶段随机抽样法抽取45岁及其以上社区居民,使用人口学资料调查表、老年精神卫生知识问卷进行调查。结果:共纳入1002名研究对象,天津市社区中老年人群的老年精神卫生知识问卷平均得分为(7.97±0.95)分,不同年龄中老年社区人群对老年精神卫生知识的掌握程度不同,中年组平均得分为(7.99±0.93)分,年轻老年组平均得分(8.04±0.94)分,老年组得分(7.72±1.05)分,中年组、年轻老年组得分分别与老年组得分比较,差异均有统计学意义(P=0.004、P=0.001),Logistic回归分析显示高龄、独居是中老年人群对老年精神卫生知识得分的影响因素。结论:天津市中老年居民对老年精神卫生知识知晓程度存在差异,高龄、独居存在对老年精神卫生知识的相对不足,提示今后应加强对该人群进行宣传教育。

Objective:To analyze the knowledge of geriatric mental health among the middle-aged and elderly population in the community of Tianjin,China,and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select community residents aged 45 years and above,and a demographic information questionnaire and a questionnaire on mental health knowledge in old age were used to conduct the survey.Results:A total of 1002 study subjects were included,and the average score of the geriatric mental health knowledge questionnaire of the middle-aged and elderly community population in Tianjin was(7.97±0.95),and the mastery of geriatric mental health knowledge of the middle-aged and elderly community population of different ages varied,with the average score of the middle-aged group being(7.99±0.93),the average score of the young-elderly group being(8.04±0.94),and the score of the elderly group being(7.72±1.05),the scores of the middle-aged and young-aged groups were statistically significant when compared with the scores of the geriatric group,respectively(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age and living alone were the factors influencing the scores of the middle-aged and elderly groups on the knowledge of geriatric mental health.Conclusion:There are differences in the degree of knowledge of geriatric mental health among middle-aged and elderly residents in Tianjin,and there exists a relative lack of knowledge of geriatric mental health among the elderly and those living alone,suggesting that publicity and education for this population group should be strengthened in the future.
