ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the differences between two successful aging models including three -dimensional model and four -dimensional model by comparing the influencing factors.Methods A total of 230 elderly people in sanatorium were selected by random sampling method.Then questionnaires and scales were conducted and the influencing factors of the two theoretical models were tested by binary logical regression analysis.Results 86 elderly people (37.39%)were qualified as successful aging by three -dimensional model (chronic illness,physical and psychological functions,social functions)while 51 elderly people (22.17%)were qualified by four -dimensional model (chronic illness,physical and psychological functions,social function,subjective well -being).When using three -dimensional model,two factors reached significant level on successful aging phenomenonage and education background,which could explain 69.10% of the total variance.When using four -dimensional model,three factors finally showed the significance:age,psychological resilience and subjective support,which could explain 79.12% of total variance.Conclusion The qualification of successful aging status can be largely influenced by evaluation models.
