人们对高龄妇女的身体健康和心理健康知之甚少，尽管她们是人口中增长最快的部分之一。采用发展观和多维度的心理幸福感评估方法，研究了生理健康、心理幸福感和年龄之间的关系。243名老年妇女完成了身体健康状况和心理健康状况的多项自我报告测量。多元回归分析表明，年龄越大，生活目标、个人成长和积极的人际关系水平越低。健康状况不佳，无论年龄大小，都与更多的抑郁和焦虑以及更低水平的积极关系和自主性有关。对老年妇女护理的意义进行了讨论。
Little is known about the physical health and psychological well-being of very old women, although they are one of the fastest growing segments of the population. The relationships among physical health, psychological well-being, and age were investigated using a developmental perspective and a multidimensional approach to the assessment of psychological well-being. Two hundred and forty-three elderly women completed multiple self-report measures of physical health status and psychological well-being. Multiple regression analyses indicated that older age was related to lower levels of purpose in life, personal growth, and positive relationships. Poor health, regardless of age, was associated with more depression and anxiety and lower levels of positive relationships and autonomy. Implications for the nursing care of elderly women are discussed.
