| Abstract: | The end of life is one of the most significant phases of human life cycle. Regarding the increasing number of elderly people, there quality of life is more important. Even though the main challenge of general health in 20th century was “enhancing the life expectancy” the most important issue in this regard in 21st century is “life with better quality”. The population ratio of the older people in India has been growing at an increasing rate and the recent trend is expected to continue in the future years too. The ratio of elderly in Kerala is also increasing at a high rate. It is high when compared to other states of India. The transformation in traditional family system and modern-day changes in the psychosocial networks frequently force the older people to stay alone or to move away from their own house to other old age homes. Social relationships and involvement in activities are key protective factors in maintaining quality of life in elderly. The study aims to investigate the quality of life and perceived social support among the elderly residing in old age homes in Pathanamthitta District, Kerala. A cross sectional study was conducted among elderly aged above 60 years of age. After taking a written consent and matching for age and sex and socioeconomic status, 100 elderly from 10 OAHs were selected randomly. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used to assess quality of life and perceived social support in elderly. The findings of the study show that majority of the elderly living in old age homes are having an average level of quality of life as well as low level of social support. The finding shows that there is a significant positive relationship between quality of life and social support of the institutionalized elderly. The results of this study reveal that the higher level of social support among the elderly, the greater is their quality of life. A holistic approach integrating physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects is needed for enhancing the better quality of life among the institutionalized elderly. |
