Abstract:Objective To investigate and analyze the attitude of the elderly in Beijing towards the health care service of traditional Chinese medicine, in order to provide reference for improving the pension service level. Methods The questionnaire was determined through literature review and expert interviews. From January to March in 2017, 300 elderly people from Huangzhuang Community and Yinghuayuan Community (150 cases in both communities) in Haidian District were surveyed by means of convenience sampling method. SPSS 20.0 was used to describe the survey data and Logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 297 effective questionnaires were collected, and the effective rate was 99.00%. The elderly who had never heard of Beijing traditional Chinese medicine health pension project named “nearby project” accounted for 49.83%, the elderly who heard of but did not quite understand accounted for 41.75%, and only 8.42% of those knew and understood the content. In the survey to discuss whether they were willing to accept the traditional Chinese medicine health care services or not, 45.12% of those said they were willing, 36.36% of those were neutral and 18.52% of those were unwilling. In the survey of whether elderly people would like to spend some time (for one or two months or more) in tourist resorts which were with a pleasant climate and provided Chinese medicine health care services at a reasonable price, 56.57% of those said they were willing, 31.39% of those held neutral opinions and 11.44% of those were unwilling to do so. Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic diseases and different monthly disposable income levels were the main factors affecting the attitude of the elderly towards traditional Chinese medicine(P < 0.05). Conclusion The elderly has a low awareness of the related content of traditional Chinese medicine health pension. Therefore, relevant government departments and social media should step up publicity and interpretation of Chinese medicine health pension policies. Most of the elderly hold a positive attitude towards health care service for traditional Chinese medicine. They should give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Older groups tend to choose home care and nursing home and traditional Chinese medicine travel pension is in the ascendant.
