Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship of between elderly people's mental health and quality of life, and to examine the affects of social economic status factors on the quality of life of elderly people. The SCL-90-R test and subjective quality of life scale were conducted on 137 people who were 60 years of age and older. Results indicate that there is a negative between quality of life and the symptoms of psychiatric problems in the elderly. Specifically, somatization, obsessive compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, depression, hostility, paranoia, psychoticism, and GSI in the SCL-90-R were negatively correlated with life satisfaction and positive emotion, but were positive correalted with negative emotion. The results of this study indicated that economic status, and the score of the GSI on the SCL-90-R, were an independent predictor of the quality of life for the elderly. Thus, the result of this study suggests that a proper psychological program and active socioeconomic intervention are needed elderly people.
