To explore the mechanism of negative emotions of the elderly in normalization period of COVID-19. The self-rating Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, epidemic attention scale, subjective economic status scale and physical health perception scale were used to investigate 318 elderly people in 2021. There were significant differences in negative emotions among the elderly in Henan in China with different gender, education background, medical insurance and whether they contacted suspected cases (all < 0.05), but there was no significant difference on religious belief ( > 0.05); Attention to epidemic information was positively correlated with negative emotion ( = 0.492, < 0.01), and negatively correlated with subjective economic status ( = -0.138, < 0.05); Negative emotions were negatively correlated with subjective economic status ( = -0.455, < 0.01) and health perception ( = -0.277, < 0.01); health perception was no significant correlation with epidemic attention( = -0.047, > 0.05) and subjective economic status ( = -0.033, > 0.05). Bootstrap test found that epidemic attention can significantly predict negative emotion of the elderly (β = 0.492, < 0.001), subjective economic status played a partial mediating role between epidemic attention and negative emotions (β = 0.438, -0.395, < 0.001), and health perception moderated the first half of the mediating path (β = 0.403, < 0.001, 95% CI = [0.286~0.521]). Epidemic attention has a significant positive impact on the negative emotions of the elderly in Henan during normalization period of COVID-19, and it has effect indirectly through subjective economic status; health perception plays a moderator role in the impact of epidemic attention on subjective economic status.
探讨 COVID-19 常态化期间老年人负面情绪的产生机制。采用抑郁焦虑压力自评量表、疫情关注度量表、主观经济地位量表和身体健康感知量表，对 2021 年中国河南的 318 位老年人进行调查。结果发现，不同性别、教育背景、医疗保险和是否接触疑似病例的老年人在负面情绪方面存在显著差异（均<0.05），但宗教信仰方面无显著差异（>0.05）；对疫情信息的关注度与负面情绪呈正相关（=0.492，<0.01），与主观经济地位呈负相关（= -0.138，<0.05）；负面情绪与主观经济地位呈负相关（= -0.455，<0.01），与身体健康感知呈负相关（= -0.277，<0.01）；身体健康感知与疫情关注度（= -0.047，>0.05）和主观经济地位（= -0.033，>0.05）无显著相关性。Bootstrap 检验发现，疫情关注度可以显著预测老年人的负面情绪（β=0.492，<0.001），主观经济地位在疫情关注度和负面情绪之间起部分中介作用（β=0.438，-0.395，<0.001），身体健康感知调节中介路径的前半段（β=0.403，<0.001，95%CI=[0.286~0.521]）。疫情关注度对 COVID-19 常态化期间河南老年人的负面情绪有显著的正向影响，通过主观经济地位产生间接影响；身体健康感知在疫情关注度对主观经济地位的影响中起调节作用。
