Population aging presents a significant challenge that requires comprehensive planning. Limited research has been done on the interconnections between happiness, sleep, and self-care in older adults. This study aimed to determine the Happiness, Sleep quality, and Self-care ability among community-dwelling older adults in Tehran, 2023.
This is a cross-sectional study. We selected 306 eligible, community-dwelling older adults through multistage sampling. Participants were recruited from comprehensive health service centers. We employed three assessments: the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Self-Care Ability Scale for the Elderly (SASE). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, the Spearman correlation test, and univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses.
The results indicated that 58% of older adults were male, 67.6% were married, and 44% were retired. A multivariate linear regression analysis revealed a significant association with happiness. Self-care ability had a negative impact (β = -1.50, p < 0.001), while sleep quality had a positive effect (β = 0.50, p < 0.001).
Self-care and sleep quality are associated with overall happiness. Policymakers and planners should prioritize happiness enhancement by addressing its relationship with sleep and self-care practices.
人口老龄化带来了重大挑战，需要进行全面规划。关于老年人幸福感、睡眠和自我护理之间的相互联系，目前的研究有限。本研究旨在确定2023年德黑兰社区居住老年人的幸福感、睡眠质量和自我护理能力。
这是一项横断面研究。我们通过多阶段抽样选择了306名符合条件的社区居住老年人。参与者从综合健康服务中心招募。我们采用了三项评估：牛津幸福感量表（OHI）、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）和老年人自我护理能力量表（SASE）。使用SPSS 27版进行数据分析，采用Spearman相关检验以及单变量和多变量线性回归分析。
结果表明，58%的老年人为男性，67.6%已婚，44%已退休。多变量线性回归分析显示与幸福感存在显著关联。自我护理能力有负面影响（β = -1.50，p < 0.001），而睡眠质量有正面影响（β = 0.50，p < 0.001）。
自我护理和睡眠质量与总体幸福感相关。政策制定者和规划者应通过解决幸福感与睡眠及自我护理实践的关系，将提高幸福感作为优先事项。
