Module 4: Lecture Materials– Chapter 9 Importance of Social Supports for Older Adults
As people age, their social roles and relationships alter, largely because of age-associated physiological and psychological changes, chronic illness, and fewer opportunities for social engagement. At the same time, their need for social support may increase because of changes in health, cognitive, and emotional status or in their living situation. Fortunately, most older adults create and maintain meaningful social networks that can enhance resilience and are central to active aging. Given the salience of informal networks for well-being, programmatic interventions are designed specifically to strengthen such ties.
Please read Chapter Nine.
Module Summary
Salience of Informal Networks for Elders’ Well-Being
The importance of informal social support networks for older people’s physical and mental well-being is widely documented. Contrary to stereotypes, very few older people are socially isolated. The majority have family members with whom they are in regular contact, although they are unlikely to live with them. Their families serve as critical sources of support, especially when older members become impaired by chronic illness and need assistance with daily tasks.
Friends and Neighbors as Social Support
For many older persons, friends and neighbors can be helpful in maintaining morale and quality of life. Generally, women interact more with friends than do men. In recognition of the importance of informal networks to physical and mental well-being, mutual support, neighborhood and community-based interventions are designed to strengthen friendship and neighborhood ties. In recent years, many of these programs and even communities have attempted to foster intergenerational contacts.
Pets
Provide Support Too Pets are often vital sources of support, although they should never be a substitute for human interaction. In sum, the majority of older persons continue to play a variety of social roles—partner, parent, grandparent, friend, and neighbor—and to derive feelings of satisfaction and self-worth from these interactions.
