With the rapid development of economy and the advancement of urbanization,under the background that the aging of population has risen dramatically,the number of chronic diseases of the elderly in rural areas is also increasing continuously.At present,chronic diseases have become the main diseases threatening the health and safety of the elderly in rural areas,and the number of deaths due to chronic diseases is also increasing every year.However,the medical policies for compensating chronic diseases in rural areas in China cannot meet the health needs of the elderly.By investigating the prevalence status,medical resources and related medical policies of the elderly with chronic diseases in community X,it is found that the level of medical and health care in community X is low,the elderly with chronic diseases have been ill for a long time,the effect of disease treatment is poor,and the disease is very serious.The emotional problems caused by chronic diseases are prominent,emotional and uncontrolled,causing a serious mental burden to the family.Community X lacks health knowledge and health education guidance;has low participation in new rural cooperation and health management policies,poor economic conditions and poor living environment;does not have the ability to enjoy professional health care;in addition,the social support network is narrow.Therefore,not only physical health problems,but also psychological,emotional and other problems caused by chronic diseases of the elderly in community X are needed to solve.Through case study,we can understand the real needs of the elderly with chronic diseases in community X,help them to form healthy habits and participate in medical policies,enhance their ability of emotional control and psychological adjustment,improve their family relationship and health care,and broaden the social support network.The empowerment theory is used to enhance the ability of the elderly with chronic diseases to change their health status,the activity theory is used to enhance their enthusiasm to participate in social activities,the family system theory is used to help them to establish a good close relationship with their children;the social support theory is used to link social resources and get more material and spiritual support.Commit to the fundamental protection that gives the elderly with chronic diseases in rural areas a active and healthy life and helps them to participate in other social activities,from the perspective of social work combined with the existing medical policies,reach a profound reflection and put forward effective recommendations.
