大学生群体对于痴呆老人的态度及其影响因素研究

Research on the attitude of college students towards the elderly with dementia and its influencing factors

目的:深度老龄化背景下,痴呆老人持续快速增加,为营造老年痴呆友好社会环境,提升社会大众对待痴呆老人的积极态度尤为重要。方法:对全国2170名在校大学生展开线上问卷调查。结合有效样本数据,对大学生群体对待痴呆老人的态度及其影响因素进行研究。随后采用线性回归分析(OLS)以进一步检验相关性。结果:总体来看,大学生群体对待痴呆老人的态度较为中立。OLS结果显示,在控制相关因素后,痴呆相关知识的知晓对于积极态度的形成具有促进作用,且这种正相关关系具有稳健性。此外,在深入分析痴呆知识的内部结构后,相较于症状知识,基础知识和治疗知识的知晓可以显著提升大学生群体对待痴呆老人的积极态度。此外,女性身份、父母的受教育水平对于积极态度形成具有正向作用,而痴呆接触经历对积极态度形成有负向作用。结论:建议大力开展针对大学生群体的痴呆科普宣教,提升其对于痴呆的包容态度,助力痴呆友好社会环境营造。

Objective:In order to create a dementia-friendly social environment,it is particularly important for the public to have a positive attitude towards the elderly with dementia.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among 2170 college students across the country.Combined with valid sample data,this paper studied the attitudes and influencing factors of college students towards the elderly with dementia.Linear regression analysis(OLS)was then used to further test the correlation.Results:Overall,the attitude of college students towards the elderly with dementia was relatively neutral.The results of linear regression(OLS)showed that the command of dementia related knowledge promoted the formation of positive attitudes after controlling for related factors,and this positive correlation was robust.In addition,after in-depth analysis of the internal structure of dementia knowledge,compared with symptom knowledge,the command of basic knowledge and treatment knowledge can significantly improve the positive attitude of college students towards the elderly with dementia.In addition,female identity and parental education level have a positive effect on the formation of positive attitudes,while dementia exposure has a negative effect on the formation of positive attitudes.Conclusion:It is recommended to vigorously carry out the popularization of dementia science education for college students,improve their tolerant attitude towards dementia,and help create a dementia-friendly social environment.
