To investigate the impact of community-based elderly care service utilization on mental health outcomes and its underlying pathways among older adults with chronic diseases, providing evidence for targeted interventions in this population.
A descriptive statistical and correlation analysis was conducted on the use of community-based elderly care services, mental health, and social adaptability among 280 elderly individuals aged 60 and above with chronic diseases. The mediating effect of social adaptability was tested using the Bootstrap method.
The service utilization rate reached 60% among participants, with a mean GHQ-12 score of 18.41±4.75. Significant positive correlations emerged between service utilization and social adaptation(r=0.288, P<0.001). Both service utilization and social adaptation demonstrated negative associations with psychological distress (r=-0.365,P<0.001;r=-0.464,P<0.001). The utilization of community-based elderly care services by older adults with chronic diseases negatively influences GHQ-12 scores by enhancing their social adaptability, with the mediating effect of social adaptability accounting for 30.81% of the total effect.
Community-based elderly care services exert beneficial effects on mental health in older adults with chronic diseases, partially mediated through enhanced social adaptability.
