Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to describe relations among mood states, cognitive function, and the quality of life (QOL) for the community-dwelling older people (N=167), and to identify any differences in the states, the function, and the QOL according to their socio-demographic variables. Data were collected through the one-to-one interview with the structured questionnaires. There were significant differences in mood state according to their gender and marital status, but not their age and health status. For the cognitive function, there were significant differences according to their age, gender, educational level, marital status, regularly-taking exercise, and health status. For the QOL, there were significant differences their gender, educational level, marital status, regularlytaking exercise, and health status. The QOL was significantly correlated with the mood states and cognitive function. The findings imply that nursing intervention programs that can enhance the QOL for the older people should be emphasized upon changing their mood states and cognitive function.
