Objective To identify the influencing factors of the subjective well-being of geriatric patients with fractures and to provide a theoretical basis for targeted nursing interventions .Methods The Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness ( MUNSH ) , Social Support Rating Scale ( SSRS ) , Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire ( MCMQ ) and general questionnaire were used to survey 45 geriatric patients with fractures within one-week after hospitalization .Results The score of subjective well -being was (25.77 ±12.03 ) in the participants.Among the targeted group of geriatric patients with fractures , the subjective well-being was positively correlated with subjective support and objective support (r=0.547, 0.649, respectively;P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the resignation coping style (r=-0.707,P<0.05). The subjective well-being was negatively correlated with the factors of spouse and living conditions ( r =-0.311, -0.347, respectively;P<0.05), while it was positively correlated with income ( r=0.535,P<0.01).Conclusions Favorable social support and coping style , sound family structure and living conditions as well as relatively high income will help to improve subjective well-being of geriatric patients with fractures . Nurses should provide targeted nursing intervention , while the society and families should care the elderly .
