Abstract

Objectives

To explore the latent profiles of mental health literacy among community-dwelling older adults and analyze their relationship with health-promoting behaviors.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 321 community-dwelling older adults using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Mental Health Literacy Scale, and the Geriatric Health Promotion Scale. A latent profile analysis was performed to identify latent profiles of mental health literacy among community-dwelling older adults. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the predictive factors of different profiles. One-way ANOVA was applied to examine the relationship between profiles and health-promoting behaviors.

Results

The mental health literacy of community-dwelling older adults was classified into three latent profiles: Profile 1, low mental health literacy group (21.81 %); Profile 2, medium mental health literacy group (46.42 %); and Profile 3, high mental health literacy group (31.78 %). Sex and living status were predictors of different profiles. The total score difference of health-promoting behaviors among the three profiles was statistically significant.

Conclusions

There is significant heterogeneity in mental health literacy among community-dwelling older adults. Promoting mental health literacy can effectively increase health-promoting behaviors. Targeted interventions for community-dwelling older adults in different profiles are recommended to improve their health-promoting behaviors.

社区居住老年人心理健康素养及其与健康促进行为的关系：一项潜在剖面分析。

目的：探讨社区老年人心理健康素养的潜在特征，并分析其与健康促进行为的关系。方法：采用普通信息问卷、中文版心理健康素养量表和老年健康促进量表对321名社区老年人进行横断面调查。对居住在社区的老年人进行心理健康素养的潜在分析。采用多元logistic回归分析，探讨不同剖面的预测因素。采用单因素方差分析检验档案与健康促进行为之间的关系。结果：社区居住老年人心理健康素养被划分为3个潜型：潜型1，低心理健康素养组（21.81%）；剖面2，中等心理健康素养组（46.42%）；图3为高心理健康素养组（31.78%）。性别和生活状况是不同概况的预测因子。三组健康促进行为总分差异有统计学意义。结论：社区居住老年人心理健康素养存在显著异质性。促进心理健康素养可以有效地促进健康行为。建议针对不同情况的社区居住老年人进行有针对性的干预，以改善他们的健康促进行为。
