Family and community social networks act as social resources that promote well-being at advanced ages. In this study, we analyze the association between social support received from personal social networks (social support from various family members and friends) and community social networks (social support from neighbors and the neighborhood, age, ethnic, or religious group peers and formal social support networks) and quality of life (QoL) for a sample of older Chilean persons (n = 777). The results confirm that social support from family (partner, children, and extended family) and friends, integration in the community (neighbors) and social support from informal systems (social groups) are associated with QoL. Moreover, the model including both types of support explains 25.8% of variance in QoL. The results and their possible implications are discussed.
家庭和社区社会网络作为促进老年人福祉的社会资源。在本研究中，我们分析了从个人社会网络（来自不同家庭成员和朋友的社会支持）和社区社会网络（来自邻居、邻里、年龄、种族或宗教团体同龄人以及正式社会支持网络的社会支持）获得的社会支持与智利老年人样本（n = 777）的生活质量（QoL）之间的关联。结果证实，来自家庭（伴侣、子女和大家庭）和朋友的社会支持、融入社区（邻居）以及来自非正式系统（社会群体）的社会支持与生活质量相关。此外，包含这两种支持类型的模型解释了生活质量方差的25.8%。对结果及其可能的影响进行了讨论。
