This cross-sectional design study aimed to describe quality of life and examine factors related to quality of life among older adults in Bangladesh. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 280 older adults from ten villages in two southern districts. The results demonstrate that the majority of the participants reported an overall moderate score of quality of life. Moreover, participants' sleep problems, depression, religiosity, and activities of daily living were negatively correlated with quality of life whereas social support and health service availability were positively correlated with quality of life. Implementing intervention programs upon the significant related factors to improve older adults' quality of life is recommended.
这项横断面设计研究旨在描述孟加拉国老年人的生活质量,并研究与生活质量相关的因素。采用便利抽样的方法,从南部两个地区的十个村庄招募了280名老年人。结果表明,大多数参与者的生活质量总体得分中等。此外,参与者的睡眠问题、抑郁、宗教信仰和日常生活活动与生活质量呈负相关,而社会支持和医疗服务可及性与生活质量呈正相关。建议针对这些显著相关因素实施干预项目,以提高老年人的生活质量。
