The study examined the moderating effect of age on the relations between symptom severity, self-care and others' care, patients' perception of the extent of problem solution, their satisfaction with the solution, and their perception of control over their health. Participating in the study were 121 female and 167 male chronically ill patients. Results indicated that age did play a major role in the relations between self-care and others' care and self-care outcomes. The young population sought maximum relief of symptoms with minimum effort from the self. The elderly, in contrast, could be said fo maximize control because what was important for them was not to depend on others but to be self-sufficient in solving their health problems.
该研究考察了年龄在症状严重程度、自我护理与他人护理、患者对问题解决程度的认知、对解决方案的满意度以及对自身健康控制感之间关系中的调节作用。参与研究的有121名女性慢性病患者和167名男性慢性病患者。结果表明，年龄在自我护理与他人护理及自我护理结果之间的关系中确实起着重要作用。年轻人群体试图以最小的自身努力来最大程度缓解症状。相比之下，老年人可以说是在最大程度地实现自我控制，因为对他们来说重要的不是依赖他人，而是在解决自身健康问题上做到自给自足。
