Abstract

 The base of the elderly population in China is increasing year by year, and the acceleration of population aging has led to more attention to the psychological problems of the elderly. It is also imperative to discuss the mental health status of the elderly population in current nursing homes. The paper discusses the current psychological status of the elderly in nursing homes, points out various factors that currently plague their mental health, and proposes countermeasures for improving their mental health in the future, providing a reference for related research.
