This study aimed to explore sociodemographic characteristics and psychosocial wellbeing of elderly with chronic illnesses who live with family at home.
Methods
This is a descriptive correlational study that was conducted in Pekanbaru. This study involved 85 elders that were recruited using purposive sampling technique. Data were obtained by using questionnaires.
Results
Descriptive analysis using a computer software showed that 96.5% of elderly were Muslim, 48.2% were from Minang tribe, 55.3% were female, 56.5% were married, 78.8% were low-educated, 83.5% were unemployed, and 84.7% had experience of losing a spouse, and showed that 56.5% of elderly have high psychosocial wellbeing state, which reflected psychological health and the ability to interact socially. Of all sociodemographic characteristics of the elders, all indicated higher psychosocial wellbeing state except for single elders or don’t have a life partner and unemployed elders. Chi-square test showed no significant relationship between educational level, marital status, employment status, and bereavement experience with psychosocial wellbeing of the elders ( p > 0.05).
Conclusions
The majority of the elderly with chronic illnesses who live with family at home were at good psychosocial wellbeing. Measures are needed to improve psychosocial wellbeing of single elders or don’t have a life partner and unemployed elders.
