Quality of life, social support, and loneliness are common problems among older adults in China , but the relationships among these issues have not been clearly identified.
The present study aimed to determine the relationships among Quality of life, social support, and loneliness.
A total of 560 older adults were randomly selected , the social support rating scale (SSRS), University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) loneliness scale, and Short-Form 12 (SF-12) were employed to measure their degree of social support, level of loneliness, and quality of life.
The average physical component summary (PCS) score was 49.97±16.33, and the average mental component summary (MCS) score was 47.26±11.49. Loneliness plays a partial mediating role between social support and quality of life.
Loneliness and a lack of social support will affect the quality of life of the older adults. Thus, we need to urgently strengthen the care and support for the older adults and alleviate the loneliness of the older adults in the community.
生活质量、社会支持和孤独感是中国老年人面临的常见问题，但这些问题之间的关系尚未明确。
本研究旨在确定生活质量、社会支持和孤独感之间的关系。
随机抽取560名老年人，采用社会支持评定量表（SSRS）、加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）孤独感量表和简短健康调查12项量表（SF-12）来测量他们的社会支持程度、孤独感水平和生活质量。
身体成分总结（PCS）平均得分为49.97±16.33，心理成分总结（MCS）平均得分为47.26±11.49。孤独感在社会支持和生活质量之间起部分中介作用。
孤独感和社会支持的缺乏会影响老年人的生活质量。因此，我们迫切需要加强对老年人的关爱和支持，减轻社区中老年人的孤独感。
