The implementation of poverty alleviation relocation in inhospitable areas is a major livelihood project of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council in order to solve the problem of production and living of the poor masses in the area where "one party cannot support the soil and the other person".According to the National Bureau of Statistics,since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC),a total of 9.6 million people in rural areas have relocated to other places for poverty alleviation,making remarkable achievements.However,due to the further improvement of the follow-up work of the relocated communities for poverty alleviation in inhospitable areas,and the break of the traditional system that the elderly living alone in the relocated communities take the village as the field and the social relationship of acquaintances as the bond,the original ideas and lifestyle of the elderly living alone cannot adapt to the regional changes for a period of time.As a result,the old-age care problem of the elderly living alone in poverty-stricken communities in inhospitable areas is still prominent.Therefore,it is of great practical significance to study the problem of mutual support for the elderly living alone in the poverty-alleviation relocated communities in inhospitable areas.In this paper,questionnaire survey and interview are adopted to investigate the status quo of the elderly living alone in D community,which is relocated from inlivable areas for poverty alleviation in Z County,Anshun City,Guizhou Province,and to analyze their problems in life care,physical health,spiritual comfort and social communication.Based on this,this paper adopts the intervention method of group work,based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and social support theory,and designs a targeted group plan for the problems faced by the elderly living alone in the poverty alleviation relocated communities in inhospitable areas.With the elderly living alone in community D as members,a mutual support group for the elderly living alone is established.The group practice provides support for the elderly living alone in life care,spiritual comfort,physical health and social communication,improves the quality of life and enhances self-efficacy of the elderly living alone through the group work practice,and evaluates and reflects on the process and results of the group work practice.This study found that the mutual help group work has strong applicability and practical effect in meeting the needs of the elderly living alone in the easily relocated communities.In the process of participating in the mutual help group activities,the elderly living alone can alleviate the problems such as unattended life and lack of spiritual comfort.The mutual help group can build a platform for the elderly living alone to help and communicate with each other,broaden the channels of social support network,and gradually enhance their social mutual help in the early,middle and late stages of the mutual help group activities,so as to improve their sense of gain and happiness.In addition,corresponding suggestions are put forward for the elderly living alone in poverty-alleviation relocated communities in inhospitable areas to improve the follow-up development of poverty-alleviation relocated communities in inhospitable areas from the aspects of community,government and talent team construction.In a word,this study to a certain extent meets their needs for the elderly and enrichis their leisure life.At the same time,it can provide reference and reference for improving the quality of the elderly living alone in poverty-relief relocated communities in inhospitable areas. |
