Migrant older adults become more disadvantaged in health due to aging and migration-related problems. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between perceived social support and health self-efficacy, and to test whether gender moderated the mediating effect of resilience between perceived social support and health self-efficacy among migrant older adults. A total of 184 migrant older adults were recruited from five communities. Resilience played a partial mediating role in the relationship between perceived social support and health self-efficacy. Moreover, age moderated the relationship between resilience and health self-efficacy. The relationship between resilience and health self-efficacy was stronger in male older adults than female ones. These findings provide a better understanding of the effects of perceived social support and resilience on health self-efficacy, which could guide targeted interventions for community health nurses to promote health self-efficacy among migrant older adults.
由于老龄化和与迁移相关的问题,移民老年群体在健康方面变得更加处于不利地位。本研究旨在检验韧性在感知社会支持与健康自我效能感之间的关系中的中介作用,并检验性别是否调节了韧性在移民老年群体中感知社会支持与健康自我效能感之间的中介作用。共招募了 184 名来自五个社区的移民老年群体。韧性在感知社会支持和健康自我效能感之间的关系中起着部分中介作用。此外,年龄调节了韧性和健康自我效能感之间的关系。在男性老年群体中,韧性与健康自我效能感之间的关系强于女性。这些发现为理解感知社会支持和韧性对健康自我效能感的影响提供了更好的认识,这可以为社区护士提供有针对性的干预措施,以促进移民老年群体的健康自我效能感。
