Communication skills with the elderly 1. Flexible use of hometown topics in communication.
If we can flexibly use the topics of the old people's hometown (such as tourist attractions, special products, local customs, etc.). ), it is easy for the elderly to lead to more intimate topics or reminisce about the past, providing a wider range of topics for further communication. At the same time, we should pay attention to topics that the elderly themselves don't want to touch (such as family discord and sad experiences). ), and must be avoided according to the timing and scene of the conversation, or the nursing staff should know and master it in advance before communicating again.
2. Communicate in a way suitable for the elderly.
According to the social status and past experience of the elderly, the elderly will have their own way of speaking. For example, I prefer the other side to use polite language, like the other side to use humble attitude, want to speak in the way of parents and children, and want to speak on the basis of equality between the two sides, and so on. Because of the age of the elderly, the nursing staff should first speak in a solemn tone. When talking, the nursing staff should observe the expression of the elderly and find a way of talking that the elderly can easily accept and like.
3. Grasp the rhythm and timing of the dialogue.
In order to keep the conversation going, some nurses usually put forward one topic after another according to their own conversation rhythm to prevent ice. But it is difficult for most elderly people to keep up with this fast-paced conversation. Old people need some time to understand the content of the conversation and some time to think. Therefore, the nursing staff should leave this time to the elderly, grasp the rhythm of the conversation before continuing the topic, so as to better communicate with the elderly.
When the old man nags, he should respond positively.
As the saying goes:? There are many old sayings, but many old trees. ? The nagging of the elderly is a manifestation of memory loss. Don't abandon it at this time. If you really don't like listening, pretend to listen and respond to them from time to time.
5. Don't criticize the views of the elderly at will.
Old people often have some opinions that make you feel that this time is out of date and old-fashioned. Don't criticize them positively and hurt their self-esteem. Old people, like children, need to be coaxed. If you think the old people's ideas are very wrong, you can also correct them euphemistically.
6. Talk more about their youth.
Every old man likes to talk about his past and his past days. Recalling painful experiences is really the favorite thing for the elderly. I still remember the sketch "The Story of Food Stamps" in the Spring Festival Evening, which reflected this social phenomenon. Although the old man is repeating the past, don't be bored. If he always repeats a topic, you can take the initiative to ask about the old man, and the old man will definitely respond to you enthusiastically.
Five ways to make the elderly psychologically younger 1 consolidate love. As the saying goes? Young couples always come with them. How long can loving couples live? . The older you get, the more you should cherish and consolidate love. Old couples should not live separately from their children, but should get along with each other day and night, whispering, understanding and caring for each other.
2. cherish family ties. When you are old, you should cherish your feelings for your spouse and children and let your family be full of affection. Respect children's choices and don't interfere too much in their lives.
3. Enhance friendship. ? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? This sentence is particularly profound for many elderly people. People are afraid of loneliness when they are old, so they should make more friends, often get together with old friends, or have an outing together to make their old life full of fun.
4. Be in a good mood. Keep a good mood, be open-minded, take everything lightly, don't compete with others, try to cultivate your hobbies, build spiritual pillars, and find fun from them. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, planting flowers and raising birds are all the best choices, and you can be intoxicated.
5. Pay attention to the world. When you get old, you should be fashionable and pay attention to dressing up, because proper decoration can bring vitality to the elderly and make them feel young. At the same time, paying attention to appearance is also conducive to social activities.
Common psychological problems of the elderly 1. Dependence psychology: dependence refers to lack of confidence, passive obedience, emotional fragility, indecision and so on. The elderly depend on others to do everything and decide their own actions.
2. Depression and anxiety: Due to the aging of body organs and tissues, the elderly are prone to depression such as pessimism, loss and anxiety, or show symptoms such as depression, depression, world-weariness or suicide. Old people are prone to anxiety because of troubles in life or long-term illness, and long-term anxiety will make them narrow-minded, stingy, stubborn, impatient, anxious and fearful.
3. Lonely psychology: The elderly can't consciously adapt to the surrounding environment, lack or can't have meaningful communication with their own thoughts and feelings, resulting in lonely psychology. The causes of loneliness are retirement syndrome, empty nest syndrome, tall building syndrome, widowhood and lack of communication.
4. Authoritative psychology: The elderly often have authoritative thoughts because of their past personal experiences, work achievements or career achievements. For example, if the younger generation doesn't listen, it will sulk or complain, which will often lead to contradictions and conflicts.
