In recent years, China has made a lot of achievements in social security, especially in the area of the elderly, but the situation of the elderly in China is still very grim, the proportion of the elderly population has increased year by year, and most towns have entered the aging stage. Respecting the elderly is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, which means that I am old and people are old. "Every family has a difficult experience, and everyone will get old." It is a natural law that no one can resist that each of us has to go through the life path of adolescence, youth, maturity and old age. Respecting and loving the elderly, in the final analysis, means respecting and loving yourself. Those of us who know how to be filial to our parents should open our hearts to accept the kind and lonely old people in nursing homes, give them joy, give them blessings, bring them good memories, and accompany them to find the glory of youth and hope for tomorrow. I wish them happiness, happiness and love in their old age.

Nine, experience
Winter vacation life lived a full and happy life. During the winter vacation, I have many meaningful activities. What impressed me the most was the activity of caring for empty nesters. When I made a survey for the elderly, I learned a lot about their physical and mental health. This investigation activity not only enriched my summer vacation life, but also accumulated rich social experience. The following is my experience in investigating empty nesters:
First, I know the meaning of "empty nesters".
At first, I didn't know the word "empty nesters" thoroughly, but I learned a lot by searching for information on the Internet. "Empty nesters" generally refers to the separation of children.
Middle-aged and elderly couples at home. With the deepening of social aging, there are more and more empty nesters, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. When their children leave home for work, study, marriage and other reasons, the symptoms of psychological disorders of middle-aged and elderly couples living alone in "empty nest" are called family "empty nest" syndrome. The difficulties of empty nesters mainly lie in the loneliness and economic difficulties in life, but in the uncertain fear of their future brought by the departure of their relatives, the sense of loss that they can do nothing after seeing their relatives leave, and the sense of emptiness that they suddenly lack someone to talk to. These three feelings are probably the important reasons for their early death.
With the development of society, the quality of life is getting higher and higher. With the development of the whole society, the elderly seem to be an isolated group. When we pay attention to the problem of migrant workers, the growth process of the post-80s generation, economic development and urban reform, do we miss the elderly? They are the parents whose children go out to work, and they are the "post-70 s" who worked hard in the city.
The parents of the "post-80 s" are a huge group, with more and more people; They live quietly in cities and rural areas, counting the days waiting for their children to come home and waiting for their telephone greetings; Because of loneliness, we are faced with many problems: life is neglected, illness can not be properly treated in time, depression and boredom can not get rid of the living conditions of empty nesters, which has become an unavoidable social proposition. According to the statistics of the National Office for Ageing, elderly people who take care of themselves partially or completely account for13 of the total elderly population in China, and many of them are empty nesters. The research group of Shanxi Gerontology Society investigated the empty nesters in urban and rural areas. Through sampling survey, it is found that nearly 20% empty nesters feel that life is neglected, which is the biggest difficulty they face. For them, eating, bathing and doing simple housework have become the biggest dilemma in life.
The second is to understand the life of "empty nesters".
"Go out with a lock and come back with a light" is a description of the life dilemma of empty nesters today.
(1) The elderly have no one to take care of them, life is not easy, and the inconvenience of daily life can be overcome by themselves, so empty nesters have no defense at all when they encounter unexpected situations or even accidents.
(2) Lonely and unhappy. "What do you want when you are old? You are blind! " In a word, many empty nesters' sad mentality, declining physical function, loss of personal value and absence of their children all make them feel lost and lose hope in life.
(3) It is difficult to get sick and seek medical treatment. Once a person is old, he is most afraid of getting sick. The disease problem is very obvious in rural empty nesters. With the development of society, empty nesters, a special group, appear frequently and increase rapidly. Some of them have no children, are lonely, and some miss children very much, but they may be far away or not around because of their busy work; They are eager to communicate, but they can't find someone to talk to; They want to integrate into society, but they can do less and less. Empty nesters are lonely and there are many difficulties and inconveniences in their lives. They need spiritual comfort and social care. Some "empty nesters" have different degrees of anxiety, uneasiness, loneliness, loss and depression. Compared with physical injuries such as diseases, the lack of spiritual comfort is more harmful to many empty nesters. First of all, living security is a major issue. Mainly in the economic aspect, especially in rural areas, the problem of providing for the aged will be the task of the country for a long time to come, and the current level of new rural insurance is still too low. With the development and progress of economy and society, "empty nesters" in cities will no longer be a derogatory term, but mean owning a house, independent economic ability, an independent living space and a higher quality of life. The economic security of these people is not a problem. Therefore, in this respect, people should pay more attention to the "empty nesters" in the vast rural areas.
Followed by daily care services. Developing services suitable for the characteristics of the elderly is the core problem to deal with the aging at present. At present, the professional service level of the elderly is not high, and there is a lack of professional management companies and a large number of professional nurses. For example, there are only more than 20,000 nurses in China, and the actual demand is close to10 million. Finally, spiritual comfort. At present, the spiritual comfort of the elderly mainly depends on domestic servants, and there are few professional psychological practitioners. Not to mention the elderly in rural areas, they mainly rely on their children who are not around and neighbors who have their own lives.
Third, strengthen the care for "empty nesters".
Children should pay more attention to empty nesters. "When people are old, they are eager to miss their children. They often have no other requirements for their children, just hope that they can care more about themselves." This is the wish of the elderly. Blood is thicker than water, and nothing can replace the power of family.
Summary of community health promotion week for the elderly. Visit regularly to provide life service and spiritual service for empty nesters.
The cadres of the Disabled Persons' Federation of our street and the neighborhood committees visited the empty nesters in various communities, asking about their living conditions and their children's going out to work, understanding and solving the urgent needs of the empty nesters in time, chatting with the elderly to relieve boredom, providing spiritual comfort and psychological comfort, enhancing exchanges and communication with the elderly, giving them some daily necessities and food, and telling them to pay attention to diet and take care of themselves. In addition, the cadres and neighborhood committees of the Disabled Persons' Federation encourage the elderly to participate in community activities and a series of activities specially held for the elderly, to maintain an optimistic attitude and enjoy their old age.
Second, carry out physical examination activities to provide health services for empty nesters.
In order to protect the physical and mental health of the elderly, our street regularly organizes free physical examination activities for empty nesters, so that the elderly can get timely medical care and care when they are sick. My street and the Lions Club of Guangdong jointly organized empty nesters in various communities to have free cataract screening surgery, and the elderly were examined by means of eyesight test and mydriasis, so as to prepare for the next stage of surgical treatment in advance. With the support of the District Disabled Persons' Federation and the Provincial Lions' Association, and with the vigorous publicity of the streets and neighborhood committees, about 300 elderly people participated in the activities that day. This activity sent light and care to the elderly in the community, so that more elderly patients could find it in time and laid a good foundation for the next cure.
Third, publicize and guide, and solidly promote the volunteer service activities of caring for empty nesters.
Streets and communities have comprehensively carried out volunteer services to care for empty nesters, and collected a large number of words, pictures and videos to care for the elderly. Through the follow-up report on the help-seekers, the publicity of the great significance of caring for empty nesters has been intensified, and the touching stories of selfless dedication and caring for the elderly have been widely publicized, calling on the general public to learn from volunteers and actively participate in the volunteer service of caring for empty nesters.

"The empty nest problem of the elderly is a social problem, mainly because the social support system is not perfect." Psychologists point out that this includes material aspects, such as old age, infirmity, lack of support and difficulties in seeking medical treatment. Especially on the spiritual level, loneliness and yearning for children make the elderly lack spiritual comfort. There is a volunteer system abroad, and it is worth learning to visit and chat with the elderly regularly.
Summary of Community Health Publicity Week for the Elderly 4 In order to further solve the problem of providing for the elderly with empty nests, speed up the development of old-age care services and promote the construction of spiritual civilization in our community, the "Volunteer Service Action of Caring for the Elderly with Empty Nests" was continuously carried out in the whole community, with a total of 2 1 volunteers and 13 volunteers serving the elderly with empty nesters.

Summary of community health promotion week for the elderly. First, attach great importance to creating an atmosphere.
Actively publicize the phenomenon of "empty nesters" and the difficulties and problems faced by "empty nesters" through radio stations with red scarves and speeches under the national flag, and further stimulate primary school students' concern and love for "empty nesters". Second, find out a basic situation carefully.

Second, effectively carry out three caring actions.
1. Provide life care services for empty nesters. Organize volunteers to go deep into the families of "empty nesters" to understand the physical condition and living conditions of the elderly. In this activity, our school sent a volunteer service team composed of 10 people. Volunteers, together with community leaders and related personnel, visited three elderly families and sent our care and blessings. Some help clean the housework, some give the old people back rubs, tell jokes and chat with them ...

Every month, volunteers go to the old people's home 1-2 times at least to do what they can, or do housework, or read newspapers to the old people, or chat with them, or beat their backs. It is precisely because of the needs of the elderly that volunteers will do their best to give practical help to the elderly.
3. Provide sports and fitness services for "empty nesters".

We will call on the vast number of children volunteers to devote their love to the society with their own practical actions, get happiness while warming others, and strive to be a qualified volunteer.
