A Practical Study On The Involvement Of Group Work In Urban Elderly Community Participation

Our country is moving towards a moderately aged society,and the problem of old age is becoming more and more serious.The aging work in the new era emphasizes active aging and healthy aging.The proposal of the 14 th Five-Year Plan provides strategic guidance for promoting the development of the cause of the elderly,and causes people from all walks of life to pay continuous attention to the problem of the elderly.Active aging emphasizes the construction of an age-friendly society and the protection of the elderly’s participation rights and main position in social life.Social participation is one of the important needs of the elderly.Actively guiding the elderly to participate in community activities and affairs can help relieve the anxiety of the elderly,meet theneeds of participation in interpersonal interaction,thus realizing self-worth and promoting the formation and development of the community social governance community for the elderly.As one of the subjects involved in community participation,the elderly have the need and willingness to participate,and can also play a positive role incommunity construction and development.Compared with other groups of people,the elderly are separated from the mainstream society,and their role changesmake it difficult for them to adapt to the situation,so they lack opportunities and motivation to participate.For the elderly,the community is the main placefor their survival,and the service management level of the community hasa direct impact on the participation of the elderly.How to create more opportunitiesand conditions for the elderly to participate in community activities,is an urgent problem that urban communities need to solve.Current studies have not well solved the problem of social participation ofthe elderly.Therefore,this study takes Y Community in Guiyang City as an example,adopts two research methods of questionnaire and interview to investigate and analyze the participation status of the elderly in the community.Throughthe research,it is found that the elderly in Y community have low participation frequency,low participation willingness and lack of participation enthusiasm.Individual,family and community are important factors that affect the community participation of the elderly.In order to improve the frequency and willingness of the elderly to participate in the community,combined with the activity theory,this paper uses the group work method to solve the factors that hinder the elderly’s community participation.In order to achieve the goals of the group and promote the active integration of the elderly into the community,the group constantly inspires the motivation of the elderly to participate,gradually strengthens their confidence in participation and improves their participation ability.Finally,By summarizing and reflecting on the whole practical process of group intervention,it is found that the work of the group has been effective in enhancing the subjective consciousness of the elderly,enriching the practical experience of the group,and helping to create a good atmosphere of community participation.At the same time,it reflects on the shortcomings in the implementation process of the group,so as to seek corresponding improvement methods.
