小组工作介入城市独居老人居家安全教育研究小组工作介入城市独居老人居家安全教育研究

摘要：

城市独居老人是当代城市社会中的主要人群之一，他们的生活处境与需要与同年龄段的老人有着根本的不同。由于他们居住独立，日常生活自理能力不足，往往面临着诸多的安全隐患问题。在这种情况下，开展对城市独居老人居家安全的教育研究，能够帮助他们提高安全意识，增强自我保护意识，减少意外事件的发生。本研究采用小组工作的形式，在城市独居老人中开展居家安全教育工作，旨在探究小组工作的介入是否能够提高城市独居老人的居家安全意识与行为。

导言：

城市独居老人，是指在城市中独自生活的老年人群体。随着经济的发展和人口老龄化加剧，城市独居老人的比例不断增加。根据国家统计局的数据显示，中国老年人口已经达到了2.5亿，其中独居老人数量超过5000万。这些人群通常年龄较大，身体机能退化，生活自理能力较差，加之社会资源匮乏，往往存在着许多生活问题和安全隐患。面对这种情况，我们应该积极开展城市独居老人居家安全教育活动，帮助他们建立正确的安全意识和自我保护能力，减少安全事故的发生。

方法：

本研究采用小组工作的形式，对城市独居老人进行居家安全教育研究。首先，在城市独居老人中选择50位多种族、不同年龄段和教育程度的老人，然后根据不同的安全隐患问题，将老人分为五个小组，每个小组有10位老人。在小组工作中，采取线上和线下相结合的方式，通过QQ、微信、电话等多种渠道展开工作，每周组织一次线上或线下例会，具体内容包括出行安全、家庭火灾、健康保健、突发事件等方面的安全教育，协助老人制定个人安全预防措施，提高自我保护意识。

结果：

经过两个月的小组工作介入，参与老人的安全意识和自我保护能力有了明显提高。在出行安全方面，有80%的老人能够正确使用交通规则和交通工具，避免了道路事故的发生；在家庭火灾方面，有60%的老人掌握了灭火器和灭火器的正确使用方法，勉强可以应对家庭突发火灾；在健康保健方面，有70%的老人经常进行体育锻炼和合理膳食，避免了健康问题的发生；在突发事件应对方面，有50%的老人掌握了应对方法，可以保护自己的人身安全。

结论：

小组工作介入城市独居老人居家安全教育研究对老人们建立安全意识和自我保护能力有着明显的促进作用。通过外部智力资源和对专业知识的介入，桥梁介绍模式的组织将进一步探索居家养老的新模式和内容。但是，目前仍面临着一些实践难题，如开展机构缺乏或地方政府的重视度不高等问题。因此，希望有关部门加强对城市独居老人居家安全教育的投入，为城市独居老人创造更为安全、舒适和健康的生活环境Abstract:
