Abstract
Abstract The current study compares the perceptions of older persons living in sheltered housing to those living independently in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study targeted respondents aged 70+ years in Israel. Nine hundred and sixty-one (961) older adults completed the survey. Respondents living in sheltered accommodation were more satisfied with their lives and more optimistic than those living in independent housing. In addition, they reported more positively on indicators of meaning in life. Moreover, older people living in sheltered housing tended to assess their health status more positively than those living in the community.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
