Abstract

Abstract:

The continued aging of the population has led to a surge in long-term care needs for the elderly. Proactive preparation for future care（PFC） for the elderly can effectively meet the care needs caused by aging，improve their physical and mental health，and promote the elderly to maximize their physiological，psychological and social functions，finally realizing healthy aging. This paper reviews the theoretical basis，concept connotation，measurement tools，influencing factors and intervention strategies of PFC for the elderly，and puts forward the prospects for future research，so as to provide references for potential mechanism and empirical research of PFC for Chinese seniors.

Key words: Healthy Ageing, Aged, Long-Term Care, Preparation for Future Care, Review

摘要：

人口老龄化持续加剧引发老年人长期照顾需求激增，而前瞻性启动老年人未来照顾准备计划，能有效满足自身老化带来的照顾需求，改善老年人身心健康，促进老年人最大限度地发挥其身心及社会功能，实现健康老龄化。该文围绕老年人未来照顾准备的理论基础、概念内涵、测量工具、影响因素、现况及干预策略等进行综述，并提出未来的研究方向，以为在当前医疗改革背景及文化下开展老年人未来照顾准备相关研究及实践探索提供参考。
