Abstract：
This study examined the benefits of an intergenerational home-based service learning program to reduce psychological distress for homebound older adults. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted with a sample of 182 to examine the association of length of service from the program and presence of caregivers with psychological distress. Findings indicated length of service (β = -0.15, p < .05) and having a child as a caregiver (β = -0.14, p < .05) were associated with a reduction in psychological distress. Policies and practice can support a pipeline of geriatric health professionals through innovative service learning models to benefit older adults, caregivers, and students.
摘要：
这项研究考察了代际家庭服务学习计划的好处，以减少居家老年人的心理困扰。对182个样本进行了多元回归分析，以检查该计划的服务年限与护理人员是否存在心理困扰之间的关系。研究结果表明，服务年限（β=-0.15，p<.05）和有孩子作为照顾者（β=-0.14，p<.05）与心理困扰的减少有关。政策和做法可以通过创新的服务学习模式支持老年保健专业人员的管道，使老年人受益，看护者,和学生。
