To investigate the willingness,demand,and influencing factors of children of the elderly regarding elderly medical escort services in Shenzhen city,and to provide a theoretical basis for promoting the implementation of such services for the elderly.
Using the convenience sampling method,a total of 526 adult children of the elderly in Shenzhen city,Guangdong province from April to June 2025 were selected for a questionnaire survey.
73.38% of the children expressed willingness to use medical escort services.The top three influencing factors for children's choice of the service of accompanying the elderly during medical treatment were the opinions or ideas of the elderly themselves,the economic ability of the individual or the family,and the content and quality of the accompanying service.
There is a phenomenon that children of the elderly regarding elderly medical escort services have a high demand for medical escort services but a low conversion rate.In the future,a framework of "government guidance + market supply" should be adopted to promote the development of a three-in-one escort service model of "licensed services-medical insurance payment-platform supervision",in order to solve the problems of elderly people's difficulty in accessing medical care and heavy burden on their children.
