Clinical Trial Summary
This study is a single-center, cross-sectional, and survey study. Through questionnaire
surveys, information about the anxiety and depression status of residents of elderly care
institutions in Zhejiang Province is collected. Through multi-factor analysis, the relevant
influencing factors that affect their psychological status are clarified. The happy old age
society provides reference opinions.
Description:
China is one of the countries with the fastest aging population in the world. With the rapid
aging of the population, there is an urgent need to build cities and communities into
age-friendly cities and communities that facilitate the lives of the elderly and continue to
make meaningful contributions to society. Various parts of our country are also actively
exploring and constructing elderly care models with local characteristics, and an aging
social environment of "respecting, loving and enjoying the elderly" is gradually being built.
However, due to the gradual decline of various organ capabilities with age, the elderly
population has a higher risk of disease than other age groups. At the same time, due to
limited income, the economic burden of the elderly population increases sharply after
illness, and the quality of life is also affected to a certain extent. . According to a
number of studies in recent years, the prevalence of depression in the elderly population is
26.0%, and the prevalence of anxiety disorders is 25.0%, which seriously affects the quality
of life of elderly patients. With the progress of aging in our country, elderly care
institutions are becoming more and more popular, and the elderly living in elderly care
institutions often lack family companionship and social attention, and more psychological
problems of the elderly may appear and be ignored.
Chronic diseases, different lifestyles, and pension forms are closely related to the mental
health of the elderly, and at the same time affect the quality of life and social
relationships of the elderly, thereby affecting disease recovery and survival. Therefore, it
is particularly important to clarify the status quo of mental health and the prevalence of
anxiety and depression among residents of nursing homes. At the same time, clarifying the
relevant influencing factors will help researchers and related institutions to designate
intervention measures, which has positive significance for social pensions.
This project intends to study the status quo of anxiety and depression among residents of
nursing homes in Zhejiang Province, and at the same time analyze the factors related to
depression and anxiety in the elderly, clarify the degree of effect of different factors, and
provide guidance for nursing homes to improve the mental health of residents and improve life
treatment. It is more in line with the pension model of an aging society.
