Objective To explore the obstacles and facilitators of psychological crisis disclosure in elderly patients with multimorbidity, in order to provide a basis for the promotion of self-expression of psychological crisis in elderly patients.Methods A phenomenological research method was used to interview 14 elderly co-morbid patients.Results Obstructive factors included personal factors （introverted/stoic personality, fear of distressing family members, and negative psychology about the state of life） and motivatio-nal factors （negative feedback, lack of cognition, and temporal weakness）.Facilitating factors included perceived benefits of disclosure, good support systems, and a strong willingness to express oneself.Conclusion There are obstacles and facilitators to the disclosure of psychological crisis in elderly co-morbid patients. We should promote elderly co-morbid patients′ active disclosure of their psychological crisis through measures such as letting patients perceive the post-disclosure benefits, providing a good support system, enriching a variety of channels of disclosure, and strengthening the patients′ cognition of psychological crisis.
