Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current state of subjective well-being among community-dwelling older adults and to explore the influencing factors and their pathways of action.Methods:Between September 2023 and January 2024, older adults in the Nanguan community of Baoding City were selected for the study using the convenience sampling method. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), Elderly's Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Social Capital Scale for Older Adults, and Human Capital Scale. AMOS 24.0 was used to develop structural equation modeling to analyze the path relationships between the factors.Results:A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed, and 229 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 95.42%. The MUNSH score of 229 community-dwelling older adults was (42.69±6.20). The results of structural equation modeling showed that human capital, social capital, and psychological capital all positively influenced the subjective well-being of community-dwelling older adults, with total effect values of 0.316, 0.429, and 0.112, respectively. Human capital directly affects subjective well-being, and social capital affects it indirectly through psychological and human capital. Psychological capital indirectly affected subjective well-being through human capital.Conclusions:The subjective well-being of community-dwelling older adults is moderate to high. It is positively influenced directly and/or indirectly by human capital, social capital, and psychological capital. Community nurses should take targeted interventions to improve older adults' human capital, social capital, and psychological capital, and ultimately achieve the goal of increasing the subjective well-being of community-dwelling older adults.
