Abstract:
The COVID-19 has had a profound impact on human society, the elderly, as a vulnerable group, are the most affected. Based on two cases of disease narrative collected by the department of neurology of a hospital in Guiyang, this paper analyzed the shortcomings of elderly care in the context of epidemic prevention and control. The overall health information literacy of the elderly was low, which made it difficult to obtain correct epidemic related information. The lifestyle of the elderly has changed during the epidemic prevention and control stag. The long time isolation at home has reduced their constitution and made them prone to illness, thus affecting the quality of healthy elderly care. In this stage, the psychological burden of the middle-aged and elderly people has been increasing, which reduced the life satisfaction and subjective well-being of the elderly, and increased the risk of depression. In view of these outstanding problems, this paper proposed corresponding measures, aiming to improve the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly during the epidemic prevention and control stage, and provide reference for realizing healthy aging in China.
