Abstract

Purpose: To identify the impact of psychosocial factors on quality of life (QoL) of older adults hospitalized and isolated after contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Method: Data were collected between April 30 and June 18, 2022, from 117 discharged older adults who were in isolation for COVID-19 treatment in a tertiary hospital in South Korea.

Results: Of participants, 33.3% were at high risk for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and 21.4% of participants were identified as having severe depressive symptoms. Participants' QoL negatively correlated with PTSS, depressive symptoms, and fear of social stigma. Depressive symptoms were the primary psychosocial factor identified as significantly affecting QoL (β = -0.682, p < 0.001), and the explanatory power of the regression model was 41.2%.

Conclusion: To enhance QoL of older adults who have experienced hospitalization and isolation due to COVID-19, identifying pertinent psychosocial factors, especially depressive symptoms, is necessary. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(8), 29-36.].

因 COVID-19 感染而被隔离后出院的老年人的社会心理因素和生活质量。

目的：确定心理社会因素对感染冠状病毒病2019（COVID-19）后住院隔离的老年人生活质量（QoL）的影响：方法：在2022年4月30日至6月18日期间，收集韩国一家三甲医院中因感染COVID-19而被隔离治疗的117名出院老年人的数据：结果：33.3%的参与者有创伤后应激症状（PTSS）的高风险，21.4%的参与者被确认为有严重抑郁症状。参与者的 QoL 与创伤后应激症状、抑郁症状和对社会污名的恐惧呈负相关。抑郁症状是显著影响 QoL 的主要社会心理因素（β = -0.682，p < 0.001），回归模型的解释力为 41.2%：结论：为提高因 COVID-19 而住院和被隔离的老年人的 QoL，有必要识别相关的社会心理因素，尤其是抑郁症状。[老年护理学杂志》，50（8），29-36]。
