目的加强社区社交网络对促进老年人的健康很重要。然而,旨在增加老年人社交网络的有效干预策略尚未建立。本研究探讨了由大学主导的社区干预是否可以增加日本老年人的社区社交网络。在干预前,我们通过邮寄的方式对所有居住在Tsurukabuto社区的60岁≥老人(n=1769)进行了基线问卷调查,其中1,068人进行了回答。对于社区干预,神户大学在一年的时间里提供了18个基于事件的项目。神户大学的教职员工组织了所有的项目。在该计划期间,促进了参与者之间的社交互动。一项跟踪调查分发给了那些对基线调查做出回应的人,710人回答了关于他们参与干预计划的问题(138名受访者是参与者,572名不是参与者)。结果协方差分析显示,在调整社会网络基线得分后,社区社区社会网络的变化显著高于非社区社区网络的变化(P=0.046)。结论本研究发现,干预的参与者扩大了社区社会网络,而非参与者的社区社会网络没有扩大。这一发现表明,利用大学资源的社区干预可以增加老年人的社区社交网络。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018;18:462-469。
AimStrengthening neighborhood social networks is important for promoting health among older adults. However, effective intervention strategies aimed at increasing older adults' social networks have not yet been established. The present study examined whether a university‐led community intervention that provided communication opportunities could increase older Japanese adults' neighborhood social networks.MethodsThe present study used a quasi‐experimental design. Before the intervention, using postal mail, we carried out a baseline questionnaire survey that was sent to all people living in the Tsurukabuto community aged ≥60 years (n= 1769), of whom 1068 responded. For the community intervention, 18 event‐based programs were provided over the course of 1 year at Kobe University. Academic staff at Kobe University organized all the programs. During the program, social interactions among participants were promoted. A follow‐up survey was distributed to those who responded to the baseline survey, and 710 individuals answered the question about their participation in the intervention programs (138 respondents were participants, 572 were non‐participants). The neighborhood social network was measured in both the baseline and follow‐up surveys.ResultsAnalysis of covariance showed that the changes in neighborhood social network among participants in the program was significantly higher than the changes among non‐participants (P= 0.046) after adjusting for the baseline score of social network.ConclusionsThe present study found that participants of the intervention expanded their neighborhood social network, but non‐participants did not. This finding shows that community interventions using university resources could increase older adults' neighborhood social networks.Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 462–469.
