Family support, anticipated support, negative interaction, and psychological well-being of older parents in Thailand
1Institute of Nursing, Suranaree University of Technology, Muang, Thailand.
Background:
A number of studies have consistently indicated that family support has a powerful impact on older parents' well-being, but little is known about the effects of anticipated support and negative interaction on psychological well-being. The present study attempted to examine the relationships between family support, negative interaction, and psychological well-being in older Thai parents.
Methods:
The sample included 578 elderly parents aged 60 years and older. Multiple regression models were employed to determine whether received support, anticipated support, and negative interaction influence older parents' well-being.
Results:
Findings revealed that greater emotional and instrumental support received from family members and anticipated support were significantly associated with a greater sense of older parents' psychological well-being. However, psychological well-being was lower for those with more negative family interactions.
Conclusion:
The results suggest that filial piety and family solidarity should be considered when developing elder care policy and interventions to promote psychological well-being.
