Background
- India faces a growing aging population, increasing healthcare demands.
- Quality of Life (QoL) and self-efficacy are crucial for elderly well-being.
- Assessing interventions for elderly QoL and self-efficacy is vital.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the effectiveness of specific interventions on QoL and self-efficacy in the elderly.
- To provide evidence-based strategies for improving the lives of aging individuals.
Main Methods
- A quasi-experimental, one-group pre- and post-test design was employed.
- 60 elderly individuals from a rural community were selected via simple random sampling.
- WHOQOL-BREF and General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scales measured QoL and self-efficacy.
Main Results
- Baseline QoL and self-efficacy were low; post-intervention, 98.3% had average QoL and 81.7% had high self-efficacy.
- Mean QoL scores increased from 48.3% to 65.8%.
- Mean self-efficacy scores rose from 61.3% to 80.7%, with statistical significance (P < 0.001).
Conclusions
- Selected interventions (education, reminiscence therapy, exercise) effectively improved elderly QoL and self-efficacy.
- These interventions support active, healthy, and happy living for the aged.
- The study recommends these beneficial interventions for elderly populations.
