چکیده
پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی اثربخشی بسته آموزشی ارتقای کیفیت زندگی بر احساس تنهایی و اضطراب مرگ سالمندان انجام شد. روش پژوهش نیمه‌آزمایشی با طرح پیش‌آزمون ـ پس‌آزمون همراه با گروه کنترل بود. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه سالمندان مقیم مرکز نگهداری سالمندان تأمین اجتماعی شهر کرمانشاه بود که از میان آنان ۳۰ نفر به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب و به‌صورت تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل (هر گروه ۱۵ نفر) جایگزین شدند. گروه آزمایش طی ۱۰ جلسه، بسته آموزشی ارتقای کیفیت زندگی را دریافت کرد، در حالی که گروه کنترل هیچ مداخله‌ای دریافت نکرد. ابزارهای پژوهش شامل مقیاس احساس تنهایی یوسی‌ال‌ای و مقیاس اضطراب مرگ تمپلر بود. داده‌ها با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس تک‌متغیره تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که بسته آموزشی ارتقای کیفیت زندگی موجب کاهش معنادار احساس تنهایی و اضطراب مرگ سالمندان در گروه آزمایش نسبت به گروه کنترل شد (001/0>P). همچنین اندازه اثر مداخله برای احساس تنهایی 51/0 و برای اضطراب مرگ 41/0 به دست آمد که نشان‌دهنده اثربخشی مطلوب مداخله است. بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که بسته آموزشی ارتقای کیفیت زندگی می‌تواند به‌عنوان یک مداخله جامع و مبتنی بر شواهد در جهت بهبود سلامت روان سالمندان و کاهش احساس تنهایی و اضطراب مرگ آنان مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.

چکیده English

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a quality-of-life enhancement educational package on loneliness and death anxiety among older adults. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population consisted of older adults residing in the Social Security Nursing Home in Kermanshah, Iran. Thirty participants were selected through simple random sampling and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (15 participants in each group). The experimental group received the quality-of-life enhancement educational package in 10 sessions, while the control group received no intervention. The research instruments included the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The findings showed that the quality-of-life enhancement educational package significantly reduced loneliness and death anxiety among older adults in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.001). Furthermore, the effect sizes were 0.51 for loneliness and 0.41 for death anxiety, indicating the substantial effectiveness of the intervention. The findings suggest that the quality-of-life enhancement educational package can be used as a comprehensive and evidence-based intervention to improve older adults’ mental health and reduce loneliness and death anxiety.
