| Aging trend of China is becoming more and more serious,the size of the elderly population and the proportion of the elderly population are increasing,and the huge elderly population group has been valued by the functional departments of the state at all levels,and has also become a research hotspot in the theoretical circle.How to protect the rights and interests of the elderly population,how to improve the health level and quality of life of the elderly population,so that the elderly population can live a peaceful old age,is the common subject of policy making departments and scholars.In order to realize healthy aging and active aging,one of the core tasks is to improve the overall health of the elderly population,including the improvement of the physiological health level of the elderly population and the improvement of the mental health level of the elderly population.After years of research,domestic and foreign research on the health of the elderly population as the research object has rich results,the main content of the research is the overall state of the elderly population’s physical health and mental health,the elderly population’s physical health and mental health factors.Relatively speaking,according to the elderly population pension way to divide the elderly population,analysis of a specific pension way of the elderly population mental health level and its influencing factors,the results are less.Home care has always been the traditional and main way of old-age care in China.The elderly population adopting this way is huge,and the changes in the mental health level of this part of the elderly population have an important impact on the social economy.Therefore,this paper sets the research object as this part of the elderly population,and analyzes its mental health level.And explore the factors that affect the mental health level of this part of the elderly population.In this paper,the independent variables were set from the four perspectives of demographic characteristics,socio-economic characteristics,family support and community support for descriptive statistical analysis and empirical analysis.The results of descriptive statistical analysis show that the sum of the two options of “good” and“very good” mental health level of home-based elderly care population under this category is calculated according to different classification methods.The overall characteristics of the sum of the proportion are: male is higher than female;Town is higher than country;Those who rated their health level as healthy are higher than those who rated their health as unhealthy;Those who had received education are higher than those who had not;Those with spouses are higher than those without spouses;Those whose economic level is adequate are higher than those whose economic level is insufficient;Those with retirement funds and commercial insurance are higher than those who are not;Those whose families provide daily care are higher than those who do not;Those who mainly confide in family members are higher than those who are not family members;The community provided more personal care services than did not provide them;And communities that provide daily shopping services are higher than those that do not.The multiple linear regression model was constructed with the mental health of home-based elderly care population as dependent variable,and the differences were analyzed by gender,different places of residence.The empirical results show that:(1)Self-rated health,self-rated health changes,exercise habits and instrumental daily living ability have a significant impact on the mental health of the home-based elderly care population.The better the self-rated health is,the better the change of self-rated health is,the stronger the exercise habits,the stronger the ability of instrumental daily living ability,the more mental health of the home-based elderly care population,the higher the physical quality of the home-based elderly care population,the higher the level of mental health;(2)Quality of life,economic level and relative income level have a significant impact on the mental health of all kinds of the home-based care population.The better the quality of life,the higher the economic level and the higher the relative income level of the home-based care population,the more psychological health;(3)Family members assuming the primary source of living will have a significant impact on the mental health of the home-based care population,the primary source of living is from family members of the home-based care population mental health is more unhealthy,when the primary source of living and secondary source of living is family support,will have a significant adverse impact on the mental health of urban home-based care population,male homebased care population;(4)The main confiding object is the family member will have a significant impact on the mental health of the home-based care population,the main confiding object is the family member of the home-based care population mental health is better;(5)Community personal care services will have a significant impact on the mental health of all kinds of the home-based care population,living in the community providing personal care services will be more mentally healthy,Daily shopping services only have a significant impact on the mental health of the rural home-based care population and the female home-based care population,and the rural home-based care population and the female home-based care population living in communities providing daily shopping services have a better mental health.Finally,based on the empirical analysis results,the following suggestions are put forward: First,the physical health quality of the home-based elderly care population should be enhanced from the perspectives of family and community;Second,to enhance the economic participation of the elderly care population and enhance the “live base” of the elderly care population;Third,give full pay to the accompanying and caring role of family members;Fourth,increase the intensity of community support,carry out community support content according to local conditions,and improve the quality of community support services;Fifth,regularly assess the mental health of home-based elderly care population,regularly inquire about the service needs of home-based elderly care population and customize the community support services needs by home-based elderly care population,from these five aspects to improve the mental health of homebased elderly care population. |
