Abstract/Summary:
As China’s population ageing intensifies and the number of elderly people increases,society as a whole faces the dilemma of getting old before it gets rich.Since 1999,China has begun to enter the age of aging,the health problems of the elderly are very prominent,China has more than 40 million disabled elderly.China’s traditional family pension model is no longer able to meet people’s needs,more and more people turn their attention to professional pension institutions,which has directly led to the increasing number of elderly people in pension institutions,and there’s a shortage of caregivers.From the present situation,the carer has heavy workload,low income level,social status to be improved,weak interpersonal relationship.More and more caretakers suffer from mental stress,especially the group of disabled elderly caretakers,who have to pay more energy and work harder than the general caretakers,and their mental stress is especially serious.Therefore,it is particularly urgent to relieve the mental pressure of the Disabled Elderly Care Staff.Based on the professional field of social work,this paper analyzes the causes of mental stress of nursing staff by means of group work,explores the methods of relieving the stress of elderly nursing staff,and puts forward the relevant countermeasures.In this paper,we take the disabled elderly care staff of s nursing home in Changchun as the service object,and through the thorough investigation of their daily life,we find that the disabled elderly care staff have serious mental stress and weak anti-stress consciousness,doesn’t have a good strategy for dealing with stress.This article uses the method of Literature Survey,semi-structured interview and questionnaire survey to understand the problems and causes of mental stress of nurses,and makes a detailed analysis,the nurses with mental stress were selected through questionnaire and mental stress scale,and they were served as clients.The group was formed according to the voluntary principle,and the group work program was set up,based on social learning theory and social support theory,intervention therapy was carried out.Six activities were carried out before and after the activities.After the activities,data were compared between the pre-measurement and post-measurement of the scale,process evaluation and result evaluation of the work,the effect of group work on relieving mental stress of disabled elderly caregivers was validated.Finally,this paper summarizes the study and puts forward three suggestions: to strengthen social support network,to establish psychological counseling and feedback mechanism,and to correct the cognitive bias of caregivers,establish a positive interaction mechanism with the caregivers and the family members of the elderly.The innovation of this paper is that the nursing staff in the old-age Care Institution is subdivided into the disabled nursing staff,which makes the research more targeted and provides a new research idea for this kind of research.The disadvantage is that the survey results can not reflect the reality of the total number of carers in Changchun’s s care-giving institutions.
