Aims: This study investigates levels of life satisfaction among older people living at home and the factors that influence it. Method: Applying probability proportional to size, a cross-sectional survey was conducted of 1067 older people living in Tabriz, Islamic Republic of Iran. The Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support questionnaires were administered. The data were analysed using chi-squared tests and logistic regression. Results: More than half of the participants were dissatisfied with their lives. Female, educated, and active older people reported greater satisfaction than others. Conclusion: The significant positive effects of perceived social support and physical activity rate indicated that social interaction may be as vital as physical activity for the well-being of older people, and that these qualities should be actively promoted among older people in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Contexte : Compte tenu de l'augmentation croissante de la population âgée, le bien-être de cette tranche d'âge constitue un objectif important pour les politiques économique et sanitaire. Objectifs : La présente étude portait sur les niveaux de satisfaction à l'égard de la vie chez les personnes âgées vivant à domicile et les facteurs qui l'influencent. Méthode : En appliquant une probabilité proportionnelle à la taille, une étude transversale a été menée auprès de 1067 personnes âgées résidant à Tabriz. Les questionnaires correspondant à l'Échelle de satisfaction dans la vie et à l'Échelle multidimensionnelle de soutien social perçu ont été administrés. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide de tests du khi carré et de la régression logistique. Résultats : Plus de la moitié des participants étaient insatisfaits de leur vie. Les femmes âgées, actives et éduquées faisaient état d'un niveau de satisfaction plus élevé que les autres. Conclusion : Les effets positifs significatifs du soutien social perçu et du taux d'activité physique indiquaient que l'interaction sociale peut jouer un rôle aussi essentiel que l'activité physique pour le bien-être des personnes âgées. De ce fait, ces qualités devraient être activement encouragées parmi les personnes âgées en République islamique d'Iran. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
