Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze and evaluate the relationships of illness and Activities of daily living (ADL) with self-rated health and subjective well-being of the institutionalized elderly. One hundred fifty eight residents from three facilities in K-city participated in this research as subjects. The illness, ADL, self-rated health, and subjective well-being (measured by PGC Morale Scale) were assessed. Applying these data as latent variables, Covariance Structure Model Analysis was applied in four steps. The degree of fitness of model to the data was evaluated until third step. And the causal relation between the self-rated health and subjective well-being was analyzed using two models. In one model, no direct influence of illness and ADL on morale was assumed (model A), and in another, the direct influence was hypothesized (model B). The two models were evaluated using a model obtained in the third step (GFI=.935, AGFI=.9O2). The results showed that in model A, morale was directly influenced by the self-rated health, and that in model B, that direct influence disappeared. In conclusion, it is difficult to explain the moral of the residents for the aged by the health condition only.
