Abstract

Objective. We aim to assess the quality of life of older individuals living in nursing homes. Methodology. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on institutionalized elderly individuals for over three months. The sample size of the study was 260 and Non-randomized convenience sampling was used. The study excluded participants with cognitive impairment, severe medical conditions, physical limitations, communication barriers, severe pain, recent surgery, acute illness, or psychiatric disorders. Ethical approval was obtained, and participants were given informed consent. The study took place in various nursing homes in Lahore in June and July 2023, for the analysis of data Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 22) was used, employing frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, and correlation. Results. The Pearson Correlation coefficient of 0.459 suggests a significant positive correlation between these variables (p < 0.01). This correlation is evident in both directions: Quality of life (QoL) score to Mini Mental Scale and vice versa. Conclusion. While assessing the QoL in elderly inhabitants of nursing residences, cognitive impairment, and high Body mass index (BMI) appeared to influence the overall QoL.

评估老年居民的生活质量：养老院环境中的横断面研究

目的我们旨在评估住在养老院的老年人的生活质量。我们对入住养老院的老年人进行了为期三个多月的横断面描述性研究。研究样本量为 260 人，采用非随机便利抽样法。研究排除了有认知障碍、严重医疗状况、身体限制、沟通障碍、严重疼痛、近期手术、急性病或精神障碍的参与者。研究获得了伦理方面的批准，并得到了参与者的知情同意。研究于 2023 年 6 月和 7 月在拉合尔的多家疗养院进行，数据分析使用了社会科学统计软件包（SPSS 22 版），采用了频数分布、平均值、标准差和相关性。皮尔逊相关系数为 0.459，表明这些变量之间存在显著的正相关关系（p < 0.01）。这种相关性在两个方向上都很明显：结论。在评估疗养院老年居民的生活质量时，认知障碍和高体重指数（BMI）似乎会影响整体生活质量。
