Successful Aging and Happiness Level in the Elderly: The Mediating Role of General Self-Efficacy.
Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between successful aging and happiness levels in the elderly and to explore the mediating role of general self-efficacy in this relationship.
Design: This is a quantitative research study designed using a correlational research model between March and May 2022.
Methods: The Mini-Mental State Examination, the Descriptive Information Form, the Successful Aging Scale, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were filled out by 144 elderly individuals living in a nursing home.
Results: It was determined that the participants had high levels of successful aging behaviours/attitudes and good levels of happiness. It was determined that general self-efficacy had a 'partial mediating role' in the relationship between successful aging and happiness.
Conclusion: Due to the 'partial mediating role' of general self-efficacy related to happiness and successful aging, increasing self-efficacy may positively impact happiness and successful aging.
Implications for the profession and/or patient care: Healthcare professionals should prioritise practices and training that support the self-efficacy of the elderly for their successful ageing and happiness. Within this scope, interventions can be made to increase the elderly's participation in self-care, active engagement and intrinsic motivation.
Impact: This study determined whether general self-efficacy has an effect on successful aging and happiness in the elderly. It was determined that general self-efficacy has a 'partial mediating role' in the relationship between successful aging and happiness. The general self-efficacy of elderly individuals is an important issue to focus on. Successful aging includes functional ability, independence and quality of life aimed at maintaining health and well-being in old age. Self-efficacy, which is thought to have an effect on successful aging, is an important determinant in initiating and maintaining behaviours that improve the health of the elderly.
Reporting method: This study was reported adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist.
Patient or public contribution: The elderly individuals residing in a nursing home were included in the study. All participants were selected from a single nursing home. This nursing home accommodates both outpatient and bedridden elderly individuals. One section is reserved for individuals diagnosed with dementia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
