社会支持、主观幸福感和孤独感是21世纪老年人生活质量研究的核心问题。然而，人们对尼泊尔等低收入国家的情况知之甚少。本研究的目的是识别在社会支持中有意义的关系(接受(SSR)和提供(SSP))，并分析它们与孤独感和主观幸福感的关系。这些受试者没有患痴呆症，居住在加德满都市，年龄在60岁及以上。对数据进行Logistic回归分析，控制了一些混杂变量。结果表明，尼泊尔老年人的孤独感较高，主观幸福感较低。从孩子一起生活和SSP到配偶、孩子一起生活以及朋友和邻居的SSR可以减少孤独感。对分开居住的儿童的SSP提高了幸福感-生活满意度。从同居儿童和SSP到儿童(同居和分开)的SSR增加了主观幸福感生活的稳定性。然而，在尼泊尔老年男性中，对亲戚的SSP降低了对SWB生活的满意度，来自亲戚的SSR降低了SWB生活的稳定性。(C)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
Social support, subjective well-being (SWB), and loneliness are issues of central importance in research concerned with the quality of life (QOL) of elderly people in the 21st century. However, very little is known about the situation in low-income countries such as in Nepal. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relationships significant in social support (received (SSR) and provided (SSP)) and analyze their connections with loneliness and SWB. The subjects, not suffering from dementia, were 60 years and above living in Kathmandu city. The data was analyzed using logistic regression with some confounding variables controlled. The results indicate that loneliness is high and SWB is low amongst Nepalese older adults. SSR from children living together and SSP to spouse, children living together and friends and neighbors reduce loneliness. SSP to children living apart increases SWB-life satisfaction. SSR from children living together and SSP to children (living together and apart) increases SWB-life stability. However, SSP to relatives reduces SWB-life satisfaction and SSR from relatives reduces SWB-life stability in Nepalese older adult men. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
