Summary · Introduction · Results · Discussion. As the demand for long-term care continues to increase steadily as the population ages, factors such as the quality of life of hospitalized older people are expected to become more important than the size or number of hospitals (McDermott et al. The correlation found in this study between quality of life and depression and care dependency provides additional evidence for developing and implementing nursing interventions that reduce depression and dependency on care in older adult populations. Multivariate health-related quality of life, emotional well-being and social functioning outcomes in American adults aged 65 and over (n = 91) The World Health Organization (WHO) defines quality of life (CV) as “people's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns”.Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship and age that affect a wide range of outcomes and risks to health, functioning and quality of life.
The model divides characteristics into predisposing demographic, favorable socioeconomic, and caregiving factors. Both the increase in the proportion of the population over 65 and the reported decline in quality of life highlight the need to examine factors associated with quality of life in older adults. However, since this scale has not been used in Korea, studies and research are needed to measure interactions between nurses and patients using the NPIS to determine how nurses affect the lives of nurses. elderly people.
Previous studies related to factors affecting the quality of life of older people have demonstrated better physical functioning, which is associated with life in the community (De Vries et al. The differences in the results of the analyses of bivariate and complete models suggest that the variables of needs may affect each other, a relationship that needs to be examined further. For older adults, social connection is particularly important for reducing risk factors such as social isolation and loneliness. It is believed that the disconnection of support systems, the loss of social life, feelings of abandonment on the part of the family, the stress of adapting to a new environment and the monotonous daily life in health centers at a young age influence quality of life. The regression model with depression and care dependency as predictor variables represented 25.7% of the variance in quality of life.
MMSE-K = Korean version of the mini-mental state test to detect dementia; GDS = geriatric depression scale; CDS = care dependency scale; NPIS = nurse-patient interaction scale; quality of life = Korean version of the quality of life scale for Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, this study was designed to identify factors affecting the quality of life of older people hospitalized in LTCH as a reference for the development of nursing interventions that effectively improve the quality of life of older LTCH residents. The results of the multiple regression analysis on factors affecting quality of life in older people are shown in table 5.5.
