In this study, we explored the predictors of quality of life and depressive features in older people living in temporary housing 13 months after the Wenchuan earthquake in western China. Anonymous data were collected via questionnaires in a cross-sectional survey of 189 older people living in temporary housing 13 months after the earthquake. To explore the predictors of the outcomes of interest, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used. The results indicated that interests/hobbies, subjective support, and family function were positive predictors of quality of life, whereas instrumental activities of daily living and depressive symptoms were its negative predictors. In addition, we found that a higher level of instrumental activities of daily living predicted a greater likelihood of depression. These results suggested that developing strategies to decrease the instrumental activities of daily living score of these people helps improve their quality of life and depression. To enhance the quality of life of these individuals, healthcare providers should also focus on developing their interests/hobbies and provide them with adequate social support, especially subjective support.
在本研究中，我们对中国西部汶川地震13个月后居住在临时住房中的老年人的生活质量预测因素和抑郁特征进行了探究。通过问卷调查收集了189名地震13个月后居住在临时住房中的老年人的匿名数据，采用横断面调查方法。为探究相关结果的预测因素，使用了Pearson相关性分析和多元线性回归分析。结果表明，兴趣/爱好、主观支持和家庭功能是生活质量的正向预测因素，而日常生活活动能力和抑郁症状则是其负向预测因素。此外，我们发现较高的日常生活活动能力水平预示着抑郁可能性更大。这些结果表明，制定策略降低这些人的日常生活活动能力得分有助于改善他们的生活质量和抑郁状况。为提高这些人的生活质量，医疗服务提供者还应注重培养他们的兴趣/爱好，并为他们提供足够的社会支持，尤其是主观支持。
