We aimed to explore the role of personality traits between fall and loneliness.
A questionnaire survey was used to investigate falls, the big five personality traits, and loneliness among older people (≥ 60 years old) in China mainland.
A total of 4,289 older people participated in the survey. There are significant differences in age, marital status, education level, residence, solitariness, and fall in relation to loneliness among older people. Falls, especially when they occurred one time increase the loneliness of older people. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were significant mediating effects between falls and loneliness.
This study implied that agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were meditating factors between falls and loneliness. In the future, we should consider the big five personality traits more to understand loneliness and offer older people interventions for reducing their loneliness. The study design was cross-sectional, so the temporal precedence of mediators and causality could not be tested. Because the data were collected retrospectively, current loneliness is likely to have confounding effects on retrospective recall.
我们旨在探讨人格特质在跌倒与孤独感之间的作用。
采用问卷调查法对中国大陆60岁及以上老年人的跌倒情况、大五人格特质和孤独感进行调查。
共有4289名老年人参与了调查。老年人在年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度、居住情况、独居情况以及与孤独感相关的跌倒方面存在显著差异。跌倒，尤其是跌倒一次，会增加老年人的孤独感。宜人性、尽责性和神经质在跌倒与孤独感之间具有显著的中介作用。
本研究表明，宜人性、尽责性和神经质是跌倒与孤独感之间的中介因素。未来，我们应更多地考虑大五人格特质，以了解孤独感，并为老年人提供减少孤独感的干预措施。本研究设计为横断面研究，因此无法检验中介因素的时间先后顺序和因果关系。由于数据是回顾性收集的，当前的孤独感可能会对回顾性回忆产生混杂影响。
