Significant Differences in Elderly Health between Urban and Rural Communities: A Literature Review

This study aimed to examine measures pertaining to elderly health in urban versus rural settings, and to identify differences in the health of elderly people living in urban and rural communities through a literature review. An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed for English articles published in peer-reviewed journals up to August 2018, with the following search terms: “urban”, “rural”, “comparison of community”, “elderly health”, and “comparison of community health”. A total of 35 articles were extracted for a critical full-text review, and six articles that met the inclusion criteria were subjected to analysis. Measures related to elderly health in urban and rural communities were classified into the following three categories: functional abilities, health, and health perception. Five of the six articles described functional abilities (e.g., social function) and health (e.g., mental health, depression) as categories with significant differences in elderly health between urban and rural communities. The results suggest that elderly health measures related to social function and mental health or depression are more important outcome measures of effective person-centered integrated community care systems from the perspective of community characteristics. As there were only a few articles reporting on elderly health according to differences in environment between urban and rural communities, further investigation is globally warranted.

城乡失能老人社区居家照护服务的差异及对策

随着人口老龄化进程的加快,我国失能老人比例不断攀升。城乡失能老人社区居家照护服务发展不协调。在调查的基础上通过对比分析,发现城乡在社区居家照护服务方式、主体、内容以及基础条件等方面均存在较大差异,总体来看城市较之农村有明显优势。应从加大健康教育培训力度和政府照护资金投入、缩小城乡照护服务内容差距等方面统筹推进城乡失能老人社区居家照护服务体系建设,推动社会公共养老服务均等化,改善失能老人的生活质量。

城市社区居家养老服务资源整合的路径研究——以广州“3+X”模式为例

“碎片化”的社区居家养老服务难以满足城市老年人多方面、高质量的需求,以整合社区居家养老服务资源为抓手,实施养老服务综合改革是破解居家养老服务供需矛盾的有效路径。广州“3+X”模式以“大配餐”为突破口,优化社区居家养老服务资源配置,搭建一体化社区居家养老服务共建共享机制。但是,老龄化社会政策不健全、社区居家养老服务性质定位不清、资源的地域限制、公共资源垄断等因素制约着城市社区居家养老服务资源的整合。要实现城市社区居家养老服务资源整合提质增效,就要以积极老龄化和整体性治理理论为基础,厘清社区居家养老服务与公共事务的边界、各级政府与社会力量的责任,完善及整合涉老助残政策及设施,推动精准养老;强化省、市、区、街协调能力,制定统一的社区居家养老服务引导政策和支持措施,减少因政策而产生的区域不平等和过度竞争,破解公共资源垄断;以“公益银行”为平台,搭建助老共同体,推动社区居家养老服务从他助转向互助、自助。
