The aging population is an important trend of social development,the embodiment of human civilization and progress,and also the basic national conditions of China for a long period in the future.It is the strategic requirement of our country to actively deal with the aging population.Based on this,the research adopts the group work method to study how to effectively improve the social participation ability of the elderly through the observation method of questionnaire and interview.Based on the background of active aging and activity theory,this study plans six different ways of group work intervention to promote the elderly’s ability of social participation,that is,to share life course and enhance interpersonal communication;to select value events and enhance self-awareness;to increase interest attraction and shorten interpersonal distance;to serve the elderly at a low age and realize personal value;CO produce festival food to enhance interpersonal connection;participate in voluntary activities to gain social trust.Through the evaluation of the service process,results and the changes of social participation of the group members,the social participation of the elderly in the experimental group and the control group was compared and evaluated.The results showed that the social participation scores of the group members increased and the average social participation scores of the whole group increased significantly,while the social participation scores of the control group members were mostly unchanged or decreased and the average scores decreased slightly,indicating that group work intervention had a certain role in promoting the social participation ability of the elderly in CY community.Through the analysis of the social participation scale filled in by the members of the experimental group,we can see that the self-awareness,participation attitude,interpersonal relationship and social participation environment of most members of the "Four Seasons Green" group have changed positively after the group activity.In this regard,based on the results of this study and combined with the actual situation,six suggestions are put forward: to accelerate the transformation of traditional pension concept,build an interactive platform for elderly groups,improve the quality of home-based pension in the community,strengthen the service capacity of pension institutions,actively participate in the affirmation of self-worth,and participate in the service to enhance community belonging.Finally,on the basis of summing up practical experience,we reflect on the lack of research.
