Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the current status and existing problems of the research on social health in the rural elderly in China so as to provide a reference for further research on improving the social health of the rural elderly, promoting healthy and active aging.Methods:We systematically searched the research on the social health of the rural elderly published in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP and WanFang Data from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. The literature on the social health of the rural elderly in China were analyzed from the literature year, first author, published journals, research institutions and fund sources with the bibliometric method, EndNote and Excel.Results:A total of 149 journal articles were included. The literature number of the research on social health of the rural elderly showed an upward trend from 2009 to 2015, and then the trend was stable; 50.34% (75/149) of the literatures were published in Peking University Chinese core journals, and 66.44% (99/149) of the literatures were supported by fund projects; the first author was from 21 provinces and 3 municipalities; the research team has not formed a "scientific elite group", and various types of institutions have carried out research on the social health of the rural elderly in China; tools for measuring social health included the Social Support Rating Scale, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and the Self-designed Questionnaires.Conclusions:In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to research on the social health of the rural elderly in China. However, the research area and institutions were wide and varied, and the research team has not formed a "scientific elite group"; social health-related concepts still lack a unified research standard and a comprehensive measurement tool for the social health of the rural elderly. We hope that many scholars will invest in the field of social health and make efforts to promote active aging.
