Quality of Life of Elderly People in the Institutional Accommodation in Relation to Sociodemographic Characteristics

Summary/Abstract: This paper was aimed at assessing the quality of life of elderly people in institutional accommodation in relation to certain socio-demographic characteristics. The survey sample was formed from 42 respondents, both sexes, aged 62 to 89, who were beneficiaries of the services of the Center for the Gerontological Center – Day Ccare Center Voždovac. Data were collected with an instrument for assessing the quality of life recommended by the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF, shorter version). The results show that among the respondents there is no statistically significant difference in self-assessment of quality of life in different domains when compared to sex, age, education level and marital status. The lowest average score was obtained for the domain of psychological health (M = 53.77, SD = 15.53), while the highest average score was registered for the domain of social relations (M = 67.56, SD = 18.33), which tells us that the sample respondents are most satisfied with their social relationships, and least satisfied with their psychological state.
