Despite the health-promoting role of life satisfaction, little is known about its determining factors in older people with mental health problems compared to nonclinical participants. This study provides preliminary data into the role of social support, self-compassion, and meaning in life on older people's life satisfaction within both clinical and non-clinical populations. In total, 153 older adults (age ≥60) completed the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and questions for relational variables. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis revealed that determinants of life satisfaction were self-kindness ( = 2.036, = .001) and intimate friends' network ( = 2.725, = .021), while family relationships were found to be significant among the clinical group ( = 4.556, = .024). Findings are discussed in relation to incorporating self-kindness and rapport with family in clinical work with older adults to better promote their well-being.
尽管生活满意度具有促进健康的作用，但与非临床参与者相比，对于有心理健康问题的老年人而言，其决定因素却鲜为人知。本研究提供了关于社会支持、自我同情和生活意义在临床和非临床人群中对老年人生活满意度所起作用的初步数据。总共153名60岁及以上的老年人完成了生活满意度量表（SWLS）、自我同情量表（SCS）、生活意义问卷（MLQ）以及关系变量问题。分层逻辑回归分析表明，生活满意度的决定因素是自我友善（β = 2.036，p = 0.001）和亲密朋友网络（β = 2.725，p = 0.021），而在临床组中，家庭关系也具有显著性（β = 4.556，p = 0.024）。本研究结果将结合在针对老年人的临床工作中纳入自我友善以及与家人建立融洽关系以更好地促进他们的幸福感这一内容进行讨论。
