Improving perception of gerotranscendence can increase life satisfaction in older adults to achieve successful aging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effect of a multidimensional support program (MSP) on gerotranscendence and depression in community-dwelling older adults. Using a cluster-randomized control trial design, four sites (98 participants) were randomly assigned to a MSP or control group. The Gerotranscendence Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale were administered pre- and postintervention. A total of 91 participants completed the study. The mean attendance rates in the MSP and control groups were 85.5% and 84.3%, respectively. The MSP was found to significantly enhance the perception of gerotranscendence in older adults but not their level of depression. This study demonstrated the MSP is a feasible and effective program to improve perception of gerotranscendence and may potentially lead to positive psychological well-being for older adults.

提高对老年超越的认知可以提高老年人的生活满意度，以实现成功老龄化。本研究的目的是评估多维支持项目（MSP）对社区居住老年人的老年超越和抑郁的可行性及效果。采用整群随机对照试验设计，将四个地点（98名参与者）随机分为MSP组或对照组。在干预前后分别使用老年超越量表和老年抑郁量表。共有91名参与者完成了研究。MSP组和对照组的平均出勤率分别为85.5%和84.3%。结果发现，MSP能显著提高老年人对老年超越的认知，但不能改善他们的抑郁水平。本研究表明，MSP是一个可行且有效的项目，可提高对老年超越的认知，并可能为老年人带来积极的心理健康。[《老年护理研究》。2019年；12(3):148 - 158。]
