我们调查了两个主要的压力源，最近的残疾和丧偶，在老年人的心理健康和从压力中恢复的自我报告中所起的作用。对246名年龄在60-80岁之间的老年人进行了为期3个月的月度访谈，并对10个月的访谈数据进行了分析。对照受试者没有经历压力源，是从年龄、性别和社会经济地位相匹配的成年人样本中精心挑选出来的。因变量为心理苦恼和心理幸福感，各有分量表。与其他组相比，残疾人组的积极幸福感明显较低，而痛苦明显较大。与残疾受试者相比，丧失亲人的受试者表现出更高的抑郁水平，但表现出较少的焦虑。失去亲人的受试者在心理健康的几个指标上都显示出恢复，但与其他组相比，残障受试者继续表现出相当大的心理不安。(心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA，保留所有权利)
We investigated the role of two major stressors, recent disability and conjugal bereavement, in older adults' self-reports of mental health and recovery from stress. A sample of 246 older adults between the ages of 60–80 was interviewed monthly for 3 months by trained elderly interviewers; Month-10 interview data were also analyzed. Control subjects, who were not experiencing the stressors, were carefully selected from a sample of adults matched on age, sex, and socioeconomic status. Dependent variables were psychological distress and psychological well-being, each with component subscales. The disabled group evidenced significantly lower positive well-being and significantly greater distress than did the other groups. Bereaved subjects demonstrated high levels of depression compared with the disabled subjects, but showed less anxiety. Bereaved subjects showed recovery on several indicators of mental health, but disabled subjects continued to show considerable psychological upset in comparison with the other groups.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
