The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of residential satisfaction and sense of belonging on loneliness in old age in two different contexts: the community and the residential care facility. We used two surveys of 1106 non-institutionalized and 234 institutionalized older adults, aged 60 years or more in Spain. Results from structural equation modeling and path analysis suggest that residential satisfaction would positively affect sense of belonging and would be negatively associated with loneliness in both residential environments, thus playing a protective role against the experience of loneliness.
本研究旨在分析居住满意度和归属感对社区和养老院这两种不同环境下老年人孤独感的影响。我们使用了西班牙两个调查，涉及 1106 名非机构化和 234 名机构化的 60 岁及以上老年人。结构方程模型和路径分析的结果表明，居住满意度会对归属感产生积极影响，并与两种居住环境中的孤独感呈负相关，从而对孤独感的体验起到保护作用。
