Objective: This study investigated how social support and self-efficacy affect the quality of life of elderly people with chronic diseases.
Design: The study consisted of descriptive survey research.
Methods: A questionnaire covering social support, self-efficacy, and quality of life was distributed to 320 elderly people with chronic diseases. Pearson¡¯s correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlation between the respondents¡¯ social support (family support, friend support, medical support), self-efficacy (confidence, self-regulation efficacy, preference for task difficulty), and quality of life. Multiple regression analysis was also performed to identify the factors affecting the respondents¡¯ quality of life.
Results: ¡°Friend support" and ¡°quality of life¡± (r£½£636, p<0.001), had a negative correlation, ¡°confidence¡± and ¡°quality of life¡± (r£½0.827, p<0.001), ¡°self-regulating efficacy¡± and ¡°quality of life¡± (r£½0.736, p<0.001), and ¡°preference for task difficulty¡± and ¡°quality of life¡± (r£½0.295, p<0.001)?had positive correlations. Friend support (¥â£½£0.164, p<0.001), confidence (¥â£½0.592, p<0.001), and self-regulation efficacy (¥â£½0.160, p<0.001) were found to affect quality of life. The independent variables showed the following degrees of influence, in order: confidence, friend support, and self-regulation efficacy. Their explanatory power was 73.3% (F£½146.844, p<0.001).
Conclusions: The quality of life of elderly people with chronic diseases can be improved by formulating health-promotion programs that foster a sense of community.
