Life quality and its influential factors in aged people living in nursing homes in Xi'an
AIM: To obtain a general opinion on life quality of the old living in nursing homes and its influencing factors. METHODS: Fourteen nursing homes were chosen randomly. Questionnaires including general demographic data, self-designed influencing factors and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey( SF-36) were distributed to the eligible olds. RESULTS: Three hundred and seventy-three valid questionnaires were collected. The grade distribution that fell on good, moderate, and poor levels were 38.9% , 55. 5% , and 5. 6% respectively. Self-assessment of satisfaction of their life, satisfaction of the life of their children, interpersonal relation, having interests or not, learning health information initiatively or not, and disease attack were the main factors that contributed to the life quality of the old in nursing homes. CONCLUSION: The life quality of this sample population remains at a middle-up level. The relative factors warrant great consideration when we make strategies about the geriatric nursing and health promotion.
