To analyze the relationship between social support networks and the sense of gain among elderly individuals in the community and further explore the mediating role of psychological resilience in this process.
Using cluster random sampling, elderly individuals aged 65 and above from three towns (districts) in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province—Tangxia, Songshan Lake, and Liaobu—were selected as the study population from May to July 2023. A total of 1 245 valid responses were included in the analysis. Stepwise linear regression and mediation effect models were used to investigate the relationships between social support networks, sense of gain, and psychological resilience.
A positive correlation was found between the sense of gain and psychological resilience (r=0.516, P<0.01), as well as between the sense of gain and social support networks (r=0.383, P<0.01). Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between psychological resilience and social support networks (r=0.321, P<0.01). Psychological resilience partially mediated the effect of social support networks on the sense of gain, with a mediation effect value of 1.113, accounting for 34% of the total effect.
There is a significant association between social support networks, psychological resilience, and the sense of gain among elderly individuals in the community. Social support networks enhance the sense of gain by improving psychological resilience.
