This study investigated the effects of specific health conditions on perceived quality of life in retirement as measured by dimensions of retirement satisfaction. Respondents were 252 men and 199 women who participated in the retirement substudy of an ongoing epidemiological investigation of people age 65 and over in two rural Iowa counties. Retirement satisfaction was measured by the Retirement Descriptive Index, which assesses satisfaction with activities and work, finances, health, and people. Pulmonary disease was a predictor of dissatisfaction with health for both sexes. Pulmonary disease and heart attack were the strongest predictors of dissatisfaction with health for men, followed closely by stroke. Arthritis was the strongest predictor of dissatisfaction with health for women. Implications for social work practice are discussed.
本研究通过退休满意度维度调查了特定健康状况对退休后生活质量感知的影响。受访者为252名男性和199名女性，他们参与了爱荷华州两个农村县对65岁及以上人群进行的一项正在进行的流行病学调查中的退休子研究。退休满意度通过退休描述指数来衡量，该指数评估对活动与工作、财务、健康及人际关系的满意度。肺部疾病是两性对健康不满的一个预测因素。肺部疾病和心脏病发作是男性对健康不满的最强预测因素，中风紧随其后。关节炎是女性对健康不满的最强预测因素。文中还讨论了对社会工作实践的启示。
