Grandparenting is a crucial part of family child care. This study aims to examine the effect of grandparenting on the life satisfaction of community-dwelling older migrants, and attempts to explore the psychological mechanisms linking them. A total of 723 participants were recruited. The PROCESS Model 6 was used to complete the mediation analysis. The mediating effect was significant if the 95%CI did not contain zero. Results indicated that grandparenting was positively associated with migrants' life satisfaction (r=0.223, p<0.001). Loneliness and self-esteem significantly mediated this relationship, with mediating effects of 0.287 (95%CI: 0.072, 0.563) and 1.127 (95%CI: 0.648, 1.622), respectively. Grandparenting affects life satisfaction either directly, or indirectly by reducing loneliness and enhancing self-esteem.
隔代照料是家庭儿童照料的重要组成部分。本研究旨在探讨隔代照料对社区居住的老年移民生活满意度的影响，并试图探索将两者联系起来的心理机制。共招募了 723 名参与者。使用 PROCESS 模型 6 完成中介分析。如果 95%CI 不包含零，则中介效应显著。结果表明，隔代照料与移民的生活满意度呈正相关（r=0.223，p<0.001）。孤独感和自尊感显著中介了这种关系，中介效应分别为 0.287（95%CI：0.072，0.563）和 1.127（95%CI：0.648，1.622）。隔代照料通过减少孤独感和提高自尊感，直接或间接地影响生活满意度。
