【摘要】 随着我国老龄化社会程度加深,空巢老人的居家养老问题引起了广泛关注,特别是其孤独感的有效减轻问题。园艺疗法已被证实是减轻孤独感的有效途径。然而,既有研究多集中于探究综合性的小组干预减轻空巢老人的孤独感,未能分离关键自变量。本文采用问卷测量居家植物陪伴时长、植物种类、植物数量,通过ULS-6孤独感量表测量孤独感水平,运用方差分析探明居家植物陪伴有效减轻空巢老人孤独感的阈值。研究发现：3～5年、2～4种、5盆分别是居家植物陪伴有效减轻空巢老人孤独感的最大、最佳、最小阈值；独居与夫妻同居对居家植物陪伴有效减轻其孤独感无显著差异。本文旨在为以减轻空巢老人孤独感为目标导向的居家园艺疗法方案制定提供科学依据,对我国居家养老政策制定、空巢老人生活质量提升具有重要现实意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 As China’s population continues to age, the issue of aging in place for empty nesters, particularly in reducing their loneliness, has drawn widespread attention. Horticultural therapy has been demonstrated as an effective way to reduce loneliness. However, existing studies largely focus on comprehensive group interventions without isolating key independent variables. This study employs a questionnaire to measure plant companionship duration, species,and quantity in the home, using the ULS-6 Loneliness Scale to assess loneliness levels. Analysis of variance(ANOVA)was conducted to determine the thresholds at which plant companionship most effectively reduces loneliness among empty nesters. The results show that 3～5 years, 2～4 species, and 5 plants represent the upper, optimal, and minimal thresholds, respectively, for reducing loneliness. No significant differences were found between those living alone and those living with a spouse in the effectiveness of plant companionship. This study aims to provide scientific evidence for designing horticultural therapy programs targeted at reducing loneliness among empty nesters, with important implications for the development of aging in place policies and the improvement of quality of life for empty nesters in China.更多还原
