Abstract

Understanding the context of the elderly is very important for determining guidelines that improve their quality of life. One problem in Thailand, in this context, is that each organization involved in caring for the elderly has its own separate data collection, resulting in mismatches that negatively affect government agencies in their monitoring. This study proposes the development of a central database for elderly care and includes a study of factors affecting their quality of life. The proposed system can be used to collect data, manage data, perform data analysis with multiple linear regression, and display results via a web application in visualizations of many forms, such as graphs, charts, and spatial data. In addition, our system would replace paper forms and increase efficiency in work, as well as in storage and processing. In an observational case study, we include 240 elderly in village areas 5, 6, 7, and 8, in the Makham Tia subdistrict, Muang district, Surat Thani province, Thailand. Data were analyzed with multiple linear regression to predict the level of quality of life by using other indicators in the data gathered. This model uses only 14 factors of the available 39. Moreover, this model has an accuracy of 86.55%, R-squared = 69.11%, p-Value < 2.2×10−16, and Kappa = 0.7994 at 95% confidence. These results can make subsequent data collection more comfortable and faster as the number of questions is reduced, while revealing with good confidence the level of quality of life of the elderly. In addition, the system has a central database that is useful for elderly care organizations in the community, in support of planning and policy setting for elderly care.
