Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current situation of the ability to screen health information of the elderly in rural areas and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for taking targeted measures.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was adopted, and rural elderly people in Yonghe Town, Dahu Town and Dayao Town of Liuyang City, Hunan Province were selected as the survey subjects by the convenience sampling method. The investigation was conducted using the general information Questionnaire, the Health Information Discrimination Ability Scale, the filial Piety Expectation Scale and the two-way Social Support Scale.Results:A total of 228 questionnaires were distributed, and 215 valid questionnaires were retrieved, with an effective recovery rate of 94.30%. Among the 215 rural elderly people surveyed, 86 were male and 129 were female. The ability to discriminate health information was (69.19 ± 13.41) points, the expectation of filial piety was (37.67 ± 6.12) points, and the two-way social support was (46.82 ± 8.11) points. The ability of rural elderly people to discriminate health information was positively correlated with filial piety expectations and two-way social support ( r = 0.340, 0.456; both P<0.01). The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that educational level, filial piety expectations and two-way social support were the influencing factors of the current status of health information discrimination ability of rural elderly people ( t values were 2.60 to 5.35, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The ability of discriminating health information of the elderly in rural areas is affected by the educational level, filial piety expectation and two-way social support. The health information of rural elderly people with low education level should be screened and targeted, so as to enrich their cultural life and combine education with fun. Actively build a filial piety culture to promote children′s attention to their parents. In addition to providing social support for the elderly, we should promote their interpersonal and social communication and exert their self-value, so as to improve the health information screening ability of the elderly in rural areas.
