As the population of the United States rapidly grays, the |
|
plight of older people living in assisted living |
|
situations is of growing concern to health and mental |
|
health care teams, as well as the families of the |
|
individuals residing in these living environments. This |
|
large group of residents, past the stage of living in |
|
their own homes, yet not in need of skilled care, is at |
|
risk for low satisfaction with life, depression, and |
|
hopelessness. Due to the potentially positive roles of |
|
hope and spirituality in lowering depression levels and |
|
raising life satisfaction ratings, the current study was |
|
conducted in order to empirically examine the |
|
relationship among these variables for senior adults in |
|
assisted living facilities. Results reveal that life |
|
satisfaction correlated positively with hope and |
|
spirituality, and negatively with depression. Life |
|
satisfaction did not correlate significantly with |
|
indicators of poor health as expected, however, the |
|
correlation did approach significance. Additionally, |
|
depression was found to be significantly negatively |
|
correlated with spirituality and hope. (Contains 27 |
