The present study aimed to investigate the relation between lifelong exposure to traumatic life events, social support, and health-related quality of life (QOL) in a sample of older people.
A sample of 172 participants (mean age = 68.81, SD = 7.15; 68.6% female and 31.4% male) was involved in this study. The participants completed scales measuring lifelong exposure to traumatic events, social support, and health-related QOL.
The results showed that lifelong exposure to traumatic events was negatively related to physical and mental health-related QOL. Moreover, social support moderated the relation between traumatic life events exposure and mental health-related QOL.
Geriatric services could identify and implement adequate measures to provide social support and to improve different dimensions of QOL among older adults.
本研究旨在调查老年人样本中终生暴露于创伤性生活事件、社会支持与健康相关生活质量（QOL）之间的关系。
本研究纳入了 172 名参与者（平均年龄=68.81，标准差=7.15；68.6%为女性，31.4%为男性）。参与者完成了测量终生暴露于创伤性事件、社会支持和健康相关 QOL 的量表。
结果表明，终生暴露于创伤性事件与身心健康相关 QOL 呈负相关。此外，社会支持调节了创伤性生活事件暴露与心理健康相关 QOL 之间的关系。
老年服务机构可以识别并实施适当的措施，为老年人提供社会支持，并改善他们 QOL 的不同维度。
