摘要: 目的 探讨养老机构老年人死亡态度及其影响因素。方法 选取2018年1月—2022年12月广州市养老机构的593名老年人进行问卷调查,统计养老机构老年群体对死亡的态度,并分析其死亡态度发生的影响因素。结果 经过研究发现,对死亡的态度呈自然接受的老年人数量最少,为42例,占比为7.1%,其次从高到低依次为逃离接受老年人308例,占比为51.9%;死亡恐惧老年人83例,占比为14.0%;死亡逃避老年人81例,占比为13.7%;趋近接受老年人79例,占比为13.3%。患者的死亡态度与患者所患的疾病病种有关,影响死亡态度的因素包括:生理心理因素、文化思想因素、社会环境因素,其中发生概率最高的是生理心理因素,占比为50.9,其次从高到低依次为文化思想因素,占比为26.5%;社会环境因素,占比为22.6%。死亡态度中趋近接受维度的分值相对更高,其次依次为死亡恐惧、自然接受、死亡逃避以及逃离接受。单因素分析显示差异有统计学意义的项目包含家庭内讨论死亡、性别、健康自评状况、年龄、患病种数、经济结构。结论 在养老机构中,大多数老年人对死亡是无法自然接受的,大部分老年群体对死亡的态度是逃离接受,部分群体对死亡的态度是恐惧、逃避;而影响老年群体死亡态度的因素主要是生理心理因素。

Abstract: Objective To explore the death attitudes and its influencing factors among the elderly in nursing institutions. Methods A questionnaire survey on death attitudes was conducted among 593 elderly individuals in nursing institutions in Guangzhou from January 2018 to December 2022,and their possible influencing factors were analyzed. Results There were 51.9% of the elderly individuals whose death attitudes were characterized by escape acceptance,while 7.1% demonstrated natural acceptance.However,the numbers of the elderly individuals with approaching acceptance,fear of death and escape from death showed no significant statistical difference,all being lower than the number of the elderly individuals with escape acceptance.The influencing factors of death attitude included physiological and psychological factors,cultural and ideological factors,and social environment factors.The probability of physiological and psychological factors influencing death attitudes was higher than that of other factors(P<0.05).The score for the dimension of approaching acceptance in death attitudes was higher than that for other dimensions(P<0.05). Conclusions In nursing institutions,the majority of elderly individuals cannot naturally accept death.Most elderly individuals exhibit an attitude of escape acceptance towards death,while some exhibit an attitude of fear and escape.However,the factors influencing the elderly's attitudes towards death are mainly physiological and psychological factors.
