Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of attitudes to aging between intergenerational support and health behavior in elderly stroke patients.Methods:From March 2023 to February 2024, elderly stroke patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected as study subjects using convenience sampling. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire (AAQ), Intergenerational Support Scale (ISS), and Stroke Health Behavior Questionnaire (SHBQ). Pearson correlation was employed to analyze the relationships among attitudes to aging, intergenerational support, and health behavior. AMOS 21.0 software was used to construct the structural equation model and verify the mediating effect.Results:A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 243 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 97.20%. The AAQ, ISS, and SHBQ scores of 243 elderly stroke patients were (70.57±9.03), (19.74±3.65), and (71.67±5.50), respectively. Attitudes to aging were positively correlated with both intergenerational support and health behavior ( P<0.05), and intergenerational support was positively correlated with health behavior ( P<0.05). Intergenerational support had a direct positive effect on health behavior (β=0.552), and attitudes to aging had a direct positive effect on health behavior (β=0.632). Attitudes to aging partially mediated the relationship between intergenerational support and health behavior, accounting for 38.12% (0.340/0.892) of the total effect. Conclusions:Attitudes to aging partially mediates the relationship between intergenerational support and health behavior. Improving intergenerational support may foster positive attitudes to aging, thereby promoting the development of healthy behavior among elderly stroke patients.
