Survey reports and questionnaires for empty nesters

When the truth of certain things is unknown, we need to carry out investigations with an innovative spirit, and finally use the survey report to display the results of the survey . How to make the investigation report more focused? Below are the survey reports and questionnaires of empty nesters that I collected for you. I hope it can help you.

1. The purpose of investigating empty-nest elderly people in Chang’an District

(1) With the development of society, my country’s aging problem is becoming more and more serious. In particular, the problem of "empty nest" elderly people deserves people's attention. Some of them have no children and are helpless; some miss their children, but they may be far away or not around due to busy work; they long for communication, but cannot find anyone to talk to; they hope to integrate into society. , yet they can do less and less. Empty-nest elderly people are lonely and have many difficulties and inconveniences in their lives. They need spiritual comfort and social attention and care.

(2) Through this visit and survey of empty-nest elderly people in the surrounding communities of Chang'an District, we can improve our social practice capabilities and enhance our understanding and concern for the vulnerable group of empty-nest elderly people. Improve our own awareness of respecting and caring for the elderly, and better show love to the empty-nesters around us.

2. The background and significance of the investigation of the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District

(1) The background of the investigation of the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District

With the growth of my country's population The level of aging continues to decline and the average life expectancy of the elderly population continues to increase. The age structure of our country's population is also increasingly aging, and the number of elderly empty-nest families in our country is also on the rise. The so-called empty nest family refers to a family in which the children gradually separate from their parents' families when they grow up, leaving only the elderly living alone. It can be expected that empty-nest families will gradually become one of the main family forms in urban areas in my country. Therefore, we need to understand the basic living conditions of the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District, analyze the factors that affect the improvement of the quality of life of the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District, and then achieve further harmonious construction in Chang'an District.

(2) The significance of caring for the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District

Caring for the empty-nest elderly is a concrete manifestation of scientific development and people-oriented; it is an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious society; it is an important requirement for the country, It is the due responsibility of society, family and every citizen; it is a concrete embodiment of scientific development and people-oriented; it is an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious society, and it is the due responsibility of the country, society, family and every citizen. Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. The problem of empty-nest elderly requires the attention of all walks of life. As a new generation of college students, we must take the lead and contribute our love and strength to the society.

3. The current living conditions and existing problems of empty-nesters

(1) The economic conditions are relatively poor

The living conditions of empty-nesters in cities and towns are relatively good. Most elderly families rely on pensions, about 10% rely on social assistance, and about 9% rely on other sources. However, empty-nest elderly people in rural areas have few sources of income, are very financially constrained, and have relatively poor living conditions. They live a simple life, wearing clothes from many years ago, and eating mostly home-grown grains and vegetables. It was hard to eat meat last time, but during the New Year and festivals, people came and went, and life improved. Moreover, most young and middle-aged people in rural areas go out to work, but their income is meager.

(2) Worrying health status

Among empty-nest elderly, the rate of long-term illness is as high as 70%-80%. Although most elderly people participate in medical insurance, reimbursement is still limited. The proportion is very low, and it is expensive to go to the hospital to see a doctor. The elderly usually endure minor illnesses and delay serious illnesses, causing them to suffer from diseases all year round. More elderly people are afraid of being a burden to their children. Whenever they are sick, they take some cheap painkillers and hide their illness. They would rather suffer than cause trouble for their children. Children usually come back once a year when they go out to make a living, and they don’t have much money to pay for medical treatment for their parents, so they often have more than they can afford.

(3) The psychological burden of intergenerational education is heavy.

If you only take care of the daily life of your grandchildren, it will only increase the life pressure of the elderly and increase the labor intensity. However, educating children increases the psychological burden on the elderly: firstly, because the elderly do not have enough energy to educate children; secondly, because the elderly generally do not have a high level of education and literacy, they are unable to tutor children in their studies. If a child is naughty, the elderly cannot discipline him at all. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, all kinds of negative information such as mobile phones and the Internet have a certain impact on children. Many elderly people are unable to manage their children.

(4) There are hidden dangers in safety issues

Because empty-nesters are older and have limited mobility, they are easily targets of criminals. There are also many illegal and criminal acts targeting the elderly, such as personal injury, theft, robbery, and fraud, which have a certain impact on the personal safety and life stability of the elderly. At the same time, some elderly people have poor physical fitness. Once danger signs appear in their physical condition and they have no relatives around them, they are prone to accidents. Every year, dozens to dozens of empty-nest elderly people die due to untimely rescue of acute diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis. .

4. Practical content of caring for the empty-nest elderly in Chang'an District

(1) Visited some communities in Chang'an District, such as Xinyuan Community, Junyue Garden, Jinduicheng Community, etc., and visited We have reached out to the empty-nesters in these communities and helped them do what we can. Such as cleaning the room, washing clothes, and buying some daily necessities for the elderly. Chat with them, take a walk, listen to and understand the inner thoughts of the empty nesters.

(2) A questionnaire survey was conducted based on the economic status, daily life status, health and medical problems, psychological state, entertainment activities, etc. of the empty-nest elderly, with a total of 18 questions. A total of 100 questionnaires were collected, and 100 valid questionnaires were collected, and all collected questionnaires were valid. After collecting the questionnaires, I carefully organized and statistically analyzed the questionnaires, summed up each indicator, and calculated the proportions of each item.

5. Results of the survey on empty-nest elderly people in Chang'an District

After statistical analysis and summary of all valid questionnaires, the results show that they mainly face the following three aspects:

p>

(1) The economy does not have enough resources and life is difficult.

In the survey, we found that 65% of empty nesters have no income and 35% have financial income. Their economic income is very low, with the average monthly income generally being less than 500 yuan. However, the daily expenses of empty-nesters who have no financial resources come entirely from the support of their children. 60% of empty-nesters said that medical treatment is the largest household expenditure. The consumption level of empty-nesters is relatively low. In fact, the diet of many empty-nesters cannot meet their nutritional needs, and their residences are also very simple.

(2) It is difficult to take care of oneself in daily life and have difficulty moving.

Among the empty-nest elderly people surveyed, the majority are over 70 years old, accounting for 1/3 of the total. However, as time goes by, As they grow older, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to take care of themselves. The survey shows that 18% of empty-nesters are completely unable to take care of themselves, 42% of them can partially take care of themselves, and only 40% can take care of themselves completely. When they need care, most of their children work in other places. Or he has settled down, and his wife is also old or lingering on the bedside.

(3) Psychological loneliness and discomfort, and it is difficult to let go all day long.

During this survey, I found that nearly half of the elderly often feel depressed, anxious, and irritable, have no sense of safety, happiness, comfort, and satisfaction, and have a low happiness index. Very few of the communities surveyed have outdoor activity venues, and only a few larger communities have relatively complete activity equipment. Therefore, there are few public recreational, sports and entertainment facilities for the elderly. Their usual entertainment methods mainly focus on walking, chatting and playing cards. Therefore, empty nesters have nowhere to vent their mental stress, leading to a lack of psychological security. Judging from the frequency of communication with their children, only a small number of empty-nesters communicate frequently with their children, so the emotional comfort for empty-nesters is relatively poor.

6. Experience

In this social practice survey, I felt deeply. I contacted the empty-nest elderly around me and deeply understood their current situation; I also I have gained a lot. I feel that I have not only completed a social survey, but also gained a moral sublimation from it, and also exercised my practical ability and social communication skills. In the days to come, I want to let people around me understand the difficulties of empty nesters, and prevent empty nesters from becoming the spokesperson for our parents. Many college students are studying in foreign lands and cannot be grateful to their relatives at all times, but we can give this love to the empty-nest elderly who need it more, to such a vulnerable group. Let us believe and firmly believe that the future of our motherland will be better!

Empty nesters

Empty nesters generally refer to middle-aged and elderly people whose children have left home. With the deepening of the aging of society, there are more and more empty-nest elderly people, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. When their children leave home for work, study, marriage, etc., the psychological disorders caused by middle-aged and elderly couples who stay alone in the "empty nest" are called family "empty nest" syndrome.

With the development of my country's economy, the aging problem has become increasingly prominent, among which the phenomenon of "empty nesters" has attracted particular attention. On October 29, 2012, the first national intelligent elderly care strategy seminar introduced that the proportion of empty-nest elderly people is very large. By 2050, the number of elderly people dying without children in my country will reach about 79 million, and the elderly living alone and empty-nest elderly people will account for 54 More than %, the issue of elderly care for empty-nesters has once again attracted attention.

On January 4, 2022, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting Key Works of Rural Revitalization in 2022" proposed: Improve the care and contact system for grassroots party members and cadres, and visit them frequently Empty nesters.
