1, quality of life
The quality of life of retirees is influenced by many factors, such as income, social relations and physical health. Some retired old people are lonely and their social relations are not rich enough, which leads to psychological and emotional problems. In addition, some low-income retirees will also face the problem of living security and cannot meet the basic needs of life.
2. Family problems
After retirement, children are not around, and the contradiction between children has become a common problem for retired people. Some children are too busy to take care of the elderly, and retired elderly people often need to live at home by themselves, which will have an impact on their physical and mental health. Some contradictions in children's lives may also aggravate the anxiety and insecurity of the elderly.
3. Social problems
Some retirees also face social discrimination and social exclusion. Due to their age, some elderly people encounter unequal treatment in employment, further studies and social interaction. These problems not only affect the mental health of the elderly, but also affect their quality of life.
How to accompany the elderly
1. Visit regularly: visit the elderly as often as possible, communicate with them, understand their physical condition and needs, and let them feel the care and companionship of their loved ones.
2. Listen to their stories: Old people usually like to share their experiences and stories. Listening to their memories can make them feel cared for and respected. At the same time, you can learn more about them through their stories.
3. Take them out: If the physical conditions permit, you can take them out for a walk, shopping, watching movies or going to parks and other places. This can make them feel the fresh air and social interaction outside.
4. Help them fulfill their wishes: Help the elderly fulfill their wishes and needs as much as possible, such as helping them with some housework, taking them to see a doctor or buying something they need.
5. Respect their decisions: When the elderly still have the capacity to act, respect their decisions and choices and let them live as independently as possible. If the elderly need help, communicate with them as much as possible to make them feel respected and valued.
