Description
Nam Hee Kim and co-authors ask what drives anxiety and low mood in older adults living at home during a long disease outbreak. The study surveyed 178 adults aged sixty-five and older in South Korea. It measured stress tied to the outbreak, kinds of support from others, and signs of anxiety and low mood.
Trouble keeping up with distancing rules was the stress factor most tied to both anxiety and low mood. Warm, caring support from others was the strongest shield against both. Help with goods and money eased low mood in particular, and older adults with chronic illness faced higher risk. The authors urge support that guards daily contact, not just safety from infection.
