The purpose of this study was to look at the interface between stressful life events, gender, cognitive impairment, and the use of outpatient physician services among older adults. A theoretical rationale is presented, suggesting that older men who are suffering from either mild or moderate levels of cognitive impairment are especially likely to use outpatient physician services when they are confronted by undesirable stressful events. Analyses with data provided by a nationwide sample of elderly people provide support for this complex three-way interaction.
本研究的目的是考察老年人生活应激事件、性别、认知障碍与门诊医生服务使用之间的关系。本文提出了一个理论依据，表明患有轻度或中度认知障碍的老年男性在面临不良应激事件时尤其可能使用门诊医生服务。对全国范围内老年人样本提供的数据进行的分析为这种复杂的三方相互作用提供了支持。
