本研究以一栋政府补助公寓楼的老年人为研究对象，在他们之间建立了一个互助网络，并评估了互助网络对老年人社会关系、社会支持满意度和抑郁的影响。研究采用准实验设计，以位于同一社区的类似建筑的居民作为对照组。在研究期间，共交换了230项个人服务，并组织了28项集体活动。在研究期间，实验组和对照组与建筑物其他居民的社会联系数量的变化几乎没有差异。两组患者的支持满意度均有所下降，但实验组下降幅度更大。对照组的抑郁症状频率略有下降，而实验组则适度增加。需要对社会支持干预措施对没有经历特定生活压力的个人的心理健康产生有益影响的能力进行更多的研究。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022阿帕，保留所有权利）
We set up a mutual help network among the elderly residents of a government-subsidized apartment building and evaluated its impact on their social ties, social support satisfaction, and depression. A quasi-experimental design was used, with the residents of a similar building located in the same neighborhood serving as the control group. A total of 230 individual services were exchanged, and 28 group activities were organized during the study period. There was almost no difference between experimental and control groups with respect to the change over the study period in the number of social ties with other residents of the building. Support satisfaction decreased in both groups, but the decrease was larger in the experimental group. The control group had a slight decrease in the frequency of their depressive symptoms, whereas the experimental group had a moderate increase. More research is needed on the ability of social support interventions to produce beneficial effects on mental health among individuals who are not experiencing a particular life stress.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
