主观记忆抱怨是老年人的主要关注点之一，在老年学中仍然是一个具有挑战性的领域。先前的研究确定了影响主观记忆抱怨的不同因素。然而，将生活空间与主观记忆抱怨相关联的扩展模型仍然是一个空白点。本研究的目的是探讨生活空间，社会活动和抑郁的作用，在选择组的菲律宾老年人在社区的主观记忆投诉。为了检验影响主观记忆抱怨的因素，所有参数之间采用结构方程模型。189名年龄在60岁及以上的菲律宾老人位于帕拉纳克市，马卡蒂市和马拉邦市进行了多方面的问卷调查，包括一个机器人照片，生活空间评估（LSA），研究和发展（兰德）社会健康电池，老年抑郁量表（GDS），和主观记忆问卷（QMS）。结果发现，生活空间和社会活动负向影响抑郁，而主观记忆投诉是抑郁的直接影响。新的途径出现，表明生活空间和社会活动之间的相互关系。此外，社交活动直接影响主观记忆抱怨。本研究证实了影响主观记忆抱怨的因素的影响。将这些因素纳入现行做法中，可帮助医疗保健提供者优化提供的护理质量和老年人的生活质量。
Subjective memory complaints are one of the major concerns of the elderly and remain a challenging area in gerontology. There are previous studies that identify different factors affecting subjective memory complaints. However, an extended model that correlates life-space on subjective memory complaints remains a blank spot. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of life-space, social activity and depression on subjective memory complaints among the selective group of Filipino elderly in the community. To test the factors affecting subjective memory complaints, a structural equation modeling was employed among all parameters. One hundred eighty-nine Filipino elderly aged 60 years and above located in Paranaque City, Makati City and Malabon City were given a multiaspect questionnaire consisting of a robotfoto, Life-Space Assessment (LSA), Research and Development (RAND) Social Health Battery, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Subjective Memory Questionnaire (SMQ). Results revealed that life-space and social activity inversely affect depression while subjective memory complaints are directly affected by depression. New pathways emerged suggesting the interrelationship between life-space and social activity. Additionally, social activity directly affects subjective memory complaints. This study provides a confirmation of the impact of the factors affecting subjective memory complaints. Incorporation of these factors into the existing practice can help the health care providers in optimizing the quality of care rendered and quality of life of the elderly.
