Abstract

Interdisciplinary cooperation and continuous innovation are the key to promote the cultural process of elderly chronic disease managers. This article puts forward some policy suggestions to integrate the concept of humanities and social sciences, so as to promote the cultural process of the elderly chronic disease managers. By reviewing and combing the related theories in the field of humanities and social sciences, this article provides a theoretical framework for understanding the experience, behavior choice and service demand of elderly patients with chronic diseases. This article examines the management practice of chronic diseases in the elderly from the aspects of policy, medical service system, community and family, and social factors. The results show that policy makers, medical service providers, community managers and family caregivers all play an important role in the management of chronic diseases in the elderly. However, there are still some problems in current practice, such as insufficient humanistic care and insufficient interdisciplinary cooperation. Therefore, this article puts forward specific suggestions for all parties, emphasizing that we should pay more attention to the comprehensiveness and humanization of policies, strengthen the integration of humanistic care in medical services, strengthen the care and support of the community for elderly patients with chronic diseases, and give more attention and support to family caregivers.
