Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore how individual factors, physiologic factors, symptoms, environmental factors, functionalstatus and health perception predict the quality of life (QOL) for older adults with osteoarthritis and to provide guidelines for interventionsand strategies to improve QOL in these patients. The conceptual model was based on the Wilson and Cleary’s Model.
Methods: Datawere analyzed using SPSS WIN 20.0 and AMOS 19.0 program.
Results: The proposed model was a good fit for the data based on themodel fit indices. Based on the constructed model, individual factors, social support, functional status and health perception were foundedto have direct effects on QOL. Symptom had a indirect effect on QOL. Social support had a significant effect on QOL, and this modelexplained 63.6% of the variance in QOL.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that nursing strategies to increase QOL in thispopulation should contain social support to promote QOL and manage functional limitations and health perception.
