Current situation and related research on the pressure,self-efficacy and subjective well-being of the elderly using smartphones in Qinghai Province
Understand the current situation and related factors of smartphone usage pressure,self-effi-cacy,and subjective well-being among elderly people in Qinghai Province.Method:340 elderly people aged 60 and above in Qinghai Province were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey using the smartphone us-age pressure scale,general self-efficacy scale,and Philadelphia Geriatric Center(PGC)confidence scale.The survey explored the current situation of smartphone usage pressure,self-efficacy,and subjective well-being among Qinghai elderly people,as well as the relationship between the three,and analyzed the influ-encing factors of the three.Result:Qinghai elderly people(n=340)have a certain degree of smartphone usage pressure;Compared with the international adult norm,self-efficacy is relatively poor[(28.6±5.2)vs(22.64±5.61)];Subjective well-being and its influencing factors were relatively poor compared to the pre-vious research norm[(17.9±3 95)vs(12.58±5.71).Multiple linear regression analysis shows a positive correlation between the age of elderly people in Qinghai and the total score of smartphone usage pressure(β=0.24),education level,frequency of smartphone usage,and total score of smartphone usage pressure are negatively correlated(β=-1.72,-0.54);Negative correlation between gender,smartphone usage pressure,and total self-efficacy scores among elderly people in Qinghai(β=-2.06,-0.74);Positive cor-relation between monthly income,self-efficacy,and total subjective well-being scores of elderly people in Qinghai(β=0.84,0.22).
