abstract: 'Background: Populations of low and middle-income countries are ageing
|
||||
|
||||
rapidly; there is a need for policies that support an increase in the
|
||||
|
||||
duration of old age lived in good health. There is growing evidence that
|
||||
|
||||
social participation protects against morbidity and mortality, but few
|
||||
|
||||
studies explore patterns of social participation. Analysis of baseline
|
||||
|
||||
quantitative and qualitative data from a trial of the impact of Elders''
|
||||
|
||||
Clubs on health and well-being in the hill country of Sri Lanka provided
|
||||
|
||||
an opportunity to better understand the extent of, and influences on,
|
||||
|
||||
social participation among elders.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods: We analysed data from 1028 baseline survey respondents and from
|
||||
|
||||
12 focus group discussions. Participants were consenting elders, aged
|
||||
|
||||
over 60 years, living in Tamil tea plantation communities or Sinhala
|
||||
|
||||
villages in 40 randomly selected local government divisions. We assessed
|
||||
|
||||
participation in organised social activities using self-reported
|
||||
|
||||
attendance during the previous year. Multivariable regression analyses
|
||||
|
||||
were used to explore associations with community and individual factors.
|
||||
|
||||
The quantitative findings were complemented by thematic analysis of
|
||||
|
||||
focus group discussion transcripts.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: Social participation in these poor, geographically isolated
|
||||
|
||||
communities was low: 63\% reported `no'' or `very low'' engagement with
|
||||
|
||||
organised activities. Plantation community elders reported significantly
|
||||
|
||||
less participation than village elders. Attendance at religious
|
||||
|
||||
activities was common and valued. Individual factors with significant
|
||||
|
||||
positive association with social participation in multivariable analyses
|
||||
|
||||
were being younger, male, Sinhala, married, employed, and satisfied with
|
||||
|
||||
one''s health. Domestic work and cultural constraints often prevented
|
||||
|
||||
older women from attending organised activities.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: Elders likely to benefit most from greater social contact
|
||||
|
||||
are those most likely to face barriers, including older women, the
|
||||
|
||||
oldest old, those living alone and those in poor health. Understanding
|
||||
|
||||
these barriers can inform strategies to overcome them. This might
|
||||
|
||||
include opportunities for both informal and formal social contact close
|
||||
|
||||
to elders'' homes, consulting elders, providing childcare, improving
|
||||
|
||||
physical access, advocating with elders'' families and religious leaders,
|
||||
|
||||
and encouraging mutual support and inter-generational activities.
|
||||
|
||||
Influences on social participation are interrelated and vary with the
|
||||
|
||||
history, culture and community environment. Further study is required in
|
||||
|
||||
other low and middle-income country contexts.'
