Abstract

Abstract OBJECTIVE To explore the factors influencing the quality of life of older adult by assessing their current life-space, and to examine the mechanisms mediating the effects of social support and Subjective Well-being on the quality of life in older adults’ life-space.METHODS This study surveyed 311 older adults with the Chinese version of the Life Space Assessment, Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74, Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness, and Social Support Scale.RESULTS The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed a two-way correlation between life-space, quality of life, social support, and Subjective Well-being in older adults (r = 1.141, 0.164, 0.294, 0.304,0.447, 0.597, P < 0.001), life-space significantly positively predicted the quality of life of older adults (β = 0.294, t = 5.399, P < 0.001); the analysis of mediating effects showed that social support and Subjective Well-being mediated the chain effect between life-space and quality of life in older adults.CONCLUSION In addition to having a direct impact on older individuals' quality of life, their life-space can also have an indirect impact through social support and Subjective Well-being.
