This descriptive research was conducted to examine psychological well-being and its predictive factors among older adults with chronic diseases. Study subjects were 385 older subjects diagnosed with a chronic disease and who received medical treatment at the outpatient department of Bamrasnaradura Infectious Disease Institute between June and August 2018. Data were collected by interview using a questionnaire developed by the researcher incorporating Ryff’s concept of psychological well-being. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Chi-square, and multiple regression analysis.</p> <p>The results showed that most subjects reported a moderate level of psychological well-being. According to multiple regression analysis, health awareness, social support, health behavior and community participation jointly explained 51.2% of the variance of subject’s psychological well-being (p <0.05).</p> <p>The findings suggest that community nurse practitioners should focus more on promoting health awareness, social support, health behavior modification, and community participation in order to maintain independent living among older adults with chronic disease.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Public Health Nursing}, author={Sodvilai, Pintip and Kerdmongkol, Patcharaporn and Amnajsatsue, Kwanjai and Silapasuwan, Pimpan}, year={2019}, month={Aug.}, pages={96–110} }
