To show that the current situation and influencing factors of loneliness in the elderly under different chronic diseases, and propose targeted solutions.
This survey adopted the convenience sampling method, selecting elderly people from five communities in Harbin for physical examinations and distributing questionnaires to conduct statistical analysis of the survey data.
The loneliness scores of the elderly without chronic diseases, single chronic diseases and multiple chronic diseases were (42.83±9.08), (44.46±9.14) and (46.21±8.66), respectively. Age, education level, marital status, per capita monthly income of households, residence status, social support, and death anxiety were the common factors affecting loneliness in the three types of elderly (P<0.05). In terms of elderly people with multiple chronic diseases, those who worked as civil servants (95%CI:-11.515--3.602), employees of enterprises/institutions (95%CI: -6.117--2.443), and farmers(95%CI: -7.485--0.909) before retirement had lower levels of loneliness(P<0.05).
Elderly people with chronic diseases have a higher sense of loneliness and need to pay more attention to their mental health. It is necessary to reduce the level of loneliness by improving the level of social support, reducing death anxiety, improving social welfare and medical policies, reducing the financial burden, and improving family relations.
