加强老年人对其他社区居民的自愿支持行动是健康社区的重要措施。成年后的志愿行为与老年人父母的志愿行为有关，这是他们青年时期的记忆。本研究旨在探讨父母以往的自愿支持行为与老年人目前的自愿支持行为之间的关系。问卷发放给日本新泻县富町市65岁及以上的社区居民（回复率：81.7%）。参与者自我报告了他们目前的自愿支持行动，并报告了他们的父母在他们年轻时的自愿行动。结果表明，研究参与者目前的自愿支持行为与其父母以前的自愿支持行为相关（OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.62-3.20）。此外，只有当他们的父母在那些私人环境中提供支持时，参与者才更有可能在与自己的私人生活更密切相关的环境中给予支持。这项研究揭示了在促进自愿支持行动时考虑生活经验的重要性，并提供了关于如何实施独特战略以使不熟悉志愿行动的个人参与的信息。
Enhancing the voluntary supportive actions of older adults towards other community‐dwelling citizens is an important measure for a healthy community. Volunteering action in adulthood is related to the volunteering actions of older adults' parents, which they remember from their youth. In this study, the association between parents' former voluntary supportive actions and the current voluntary supportive actions of older adults is explored. Questionnaires were distributed to community‐dwelling citizens aged 65 years and above, in Tokamachi city, Niigata Prefecture, Japan (response rate: 81.7%). Participants self‐reported their current voluntary supportive actions and reported on their parents' former voluntary actions during their youth. The results indicated that the current voluntary supportive actions of the study participants were related to the former voluntary actions of their parents (OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.62–3.20). Moreover, the participants were more likely to extend support in contexts which are more closely related to one's private life, only when their parents provided support in those private contexts. The study provides implications for the importance of considering life experiences when facilitating voluntary supportive actions and renders information on how unique strategies should to be implemented to involve individuals who are unfamiliar with volunteering actions.
