Abstract：Objective:To investigate the uncertain stress of the solidarity elderly and the non-solidarity elderly in Zhejiang province,and to analyze the influencing factors of the uncertain stress.Methods:A total of 173 solidarity elderly and 957 non-solidarity elderly in Zhejiang provincewere recruited by multi-stage random sampling.They were investigated by the general information questionnaire and uncertainty stress questionnaire.Results:The score of uncertain stress among the solidarity elderly were significantly higher than the non-solidarity elderly[(22.50±8.34)vs(21.56±7.85),P＜0.05].Multiple linear regression showed that monthly household income per person,relations with descendant,availability of community-based services,and knowledge of first aid methods were factors affecting uncertain stress among the solidarity elderly.Marital status,monthly household income per person,relationship status with descendant,knowledge of first aid methods,self-rated health status and nearly 1-year history of unexpected fall were predictors of uncertain stress among the non-solidarity elderly.Conclusion:The prevalence of uncertain stress the elderly is relatively high in Zhejiang province,with a higher uncertain stress level in the solidarity elderly.It is suggested that the financial support for the solidarity elderly should be increased,and the descendant should care more for their parents,and the community should provide more services for the elderly,so as to alleviate the current situation of high uncertain stress of the elderly.
