China's aging population continues to ferment,and the number of retired elderly is still increasing.After retirement,the focus of retired elderly leaving their work role gradually shifts to themselves and their families.Among them,the retired old people in cities tend to suffer from psychological disparity due to the great change of their social status,and the corresponding changes of their life rhythm and life focus lead to their psychological imbalance.The lack of interpersonal communication and the interruption of social relations will make the sense of self-worth of retired urban elderly decline,which will further affect their attitude towards life and family relations and lead to a worse situation of low self-worth.This will affect their quality of life in later years to a certain extent,and even some elderly people commit suicide as a result,affecting social stability and harmony.Taking the elderly in Z community of Haidian District of Beijing as an example,the author selected some eligible elderly people through interviews and field observation.By using Luo Yanping's self-worth measurement method,the author measured their self-worth,and selected retired elderly people with low self-worth measured by self-worth scale,who were in social workers.Under the guidance of theory and values,by means of group work method,through defining group goals and group work preparation and service,we intervene in four aspects: interpersonal communication,social relations,family relations and life attitude.To a certain extent,they effectively enhance their sense of self-worth,help them improve their quality of life,and intervene in urban retreat for group work.The research on the improvement of self-worth of the elderly provides practical experience.?Through this study,we found that group work has a certain role in improving the self-worth of urban retirees.Through several group activities and the cooperation and consolidation after the group members' activities,retired elderly people have greatly improved in family relations,communication skills,life attitudes and other aspects,and also improved their quality of life after retirement.The study also found that urban retirees should build a comprehensive social support network for them,which can maintain a good level of their sense of self-worth.This study is expected to provide reference for future relevant research.
