Abstract
ABSTRACT This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of fictive kin interaction on the physical health and psychological well-being of older adults living in a shared site nursing home in China. The results revealed that depression levels significantly decreased and self-efficacy and flourishing levels significantly increased among the participants who engaged in additional one-to-one pair activities with kindergartners, with the effect size ranging from medium to large. The research findings indicated that one-to-one fictive kinship interactions between older adults and young children can promote the self-perceived physical health and psychological well-being of older adults in a Chinese context.
