Introduction: Elderly people are at risk of developing multiple diseases, including cardiovascular disease, which can reduce their life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess the prediction of life satisfaction from existential, religious and spiritual well-being and life satisfaction in elderly patients with coronary artery disease in 2017-2018.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional and correlational study. The study population included the elderly with coronary artery disease referred to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital of Babol in 2017-2018. 212 elderly patients with coronary artery stenosis were selected through targeted sampling and participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete the Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS) and the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire by self-report method. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression.
Results: The results showed that life satisfaction with existential, religious and spiritual well-being and marital status had a positive and negative relationship with the duration of the disease. Also, based on the results, the existential well-being variable of 41%, the combination of two variables of existential well-being and religious well-being of 44%, and the combination of three variables of existential well-being and religious well-being and spiritual well-being were 46% of the variance of life satisfaction in elderly patients (P<0/01).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, life satisfaction in the elderly with heart disease is predictable through spiritual well-being. These results can be used to develop health and preventive plans in the health system to achieve greater life satisfaction in the elderly.
