Protective Factors for Life Satisfaction in Aging Populations Residing in Public Sector Old Age Homes of Pakistan: Implications for Social Policy
Abstract Aging people in Pakistan are a growing population who face a shortage of old age home facilities. There is critical need to develop state-run old age homes for poor older people but to plan them while identifying protective factors for life satisfaction in currently housed residents. Our sample consists of 139 aging residents from six public sector old age homes across four cities. The qualitative results highlight barriers to life satisfaction and coping strategies of the aging population. Bivariate regression results show that aging residents have higher odds for life satisfaction when they are content with: (i) quality of life overall (AOR 5.99; 95% CI: 2.38–7.06); (ii) health (AOR 2.50; 95% CI: 1.02–4.14); (iii) finances (AOR 1.98; 95% CI: 0.67–3.72); (iv) religious and spiritual associations (AOR 1.90; 95% CI: 0.81–2.45); and (v) opportunities for learning (AOR 1.02; 95% CI: 0.42–2.41). We conclude with four salient social policy recommendations to improve life satisfaction for older populations living in old age homes.
