摘要
精神实践被认为有助于在老年时保持良好的“生活质量”。本文首先根据被调查者的需求,采用WHOQOL-BREF问卷对印度城镇老年人的生活质量(Quality of Life, QoL)进行了评估,并采用每日精神体验量表(daily spiritual experience Scale, DSES)对其日常精神体验进行了评估。通过Pearson相关分析观察了精神实践与生活质量的关系,并通过回归分析评估了精神实践对生活质量的影响。采用探索性因子分析(EFA)了解影响老年人生活质量的主要精神因素。结果表明,修炼精神使大多数老年人保持对生活的希望,保持良好的心理健康。
Examining the influence of spiritual practices on quality of life among older urbanites in an Indian town
ABSTRACT Spiritual practices are supposed to be helpful for living with good ‘Quality of Life’ in old age. Here, firstly, the Quality of Life (QoL) of older urbanites of an Indian town has been evaluated by using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and the daily spiritual experience has been assessed by Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) according to the need of the respondents. The relationship between Spiritual practices and Quality of Life has been observed through Pearson correlation and the influence of spiritual practices on QoL has been assessed by regression analysis. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has been conducted to understand the principal spiritual factors affecting QoL of elderly people. Results show that practising spirituality insists most older people to remain hopeful about their life with good mental health.
