Psychol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>With the accelerating aging of the population and the worsening psychological conditions of older people, the traditional mode of family support for the elderly in China does not always meet the physical and psychological needs of the elderly, and more social support modes for the elderly are needed. Based on 3,513 valid questionnaires on the long-term care and protection needs of Chinese residents, this paper uses a logit regression model to analyze the factors influencing the willingness of the elderly to choose nursing care. The results show that intergenerational family support for the elderly is a significant psychological driver on the willingness of the elderly to choose nursing care. Compared with the elderly living with family, empty nesters or older people living alone are more inclined to select nursing care when they have difficulties taking care of themselves. The physical health of the elderly affects their willingness to choose nursing care, and elderly individuals with more hospitalizations are less likely to select nursing care. In addition, elderly females who are relatively young, have a high level of education, have a high income, have a nursing home near the residence, and are already covered by medical insurance are more willing to choose nursing care. The results of this study are of great importance for improving the medical services and aging care services for the elderly and providing theoretical support for alleviating the psychological and social pressure brought by population aging.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.865276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]],"date-time":"2022-03-11T10:00:10Z","timestamp":1646992810000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["The Willingness of the Elderly to Choose Nursing Care: Evidence From in China"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chengcheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fanyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuyi","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xianghong","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-020-01587-8","article-title":"What lies beneath: a retrospective, population-based cohort study investigating clinical and resource-use characteristics of institutionalized older people in Catalonia.","volume":"20","author":"Ambl\u00e0s-Novellas","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Geriatr."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1016\/s1550-8579(06)80198-1","article-title":"Why women live longer than men: sex differences in longevity.","volume":"3","author":"Austad","year":"2006","journal-title":"Gender Med."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"649","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)61464-1","article-title":"Macroeconomic implications of population aging and selected policy responses.","volume":"385","author":"Bloom","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"356","DOI":"10.1111\/ggi.12277","article-title":"Disparities in prevalence and risk indicators of loneliness between rural empty nest and non-empty nest older adults in Chizhou, China.","volume":"15","author":"Cheng","year":"2015","journal-title":"Geriatr.
