Abstract

Background and Objective: Gerotranscendence, as a component of spiritual health, influences their quality of life and adaptation to chronic diseases by creating meaning in life. It is an important approach to enhancing the dimensions of Aging [MeSH]ealth. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between Gerotranscendence and quality of life in the elderly with cancer. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 200 older adults with cancer who were selected from Firouzgar and Rasool Akram medical centers in Tehran, Iran, during 2021. The checklist of demographic characteristics, the Gerotranscendence Scale (GTS), and the quality of life questionnaire (LEIPAD) were used. Results: Gerotranscendence had a statistically significant relationship with marital status, level of education, employment status, housing status, type of cancer, and type of treatment (P<0. 05). Age had a statistically significant negative correlation with the quality of life (r=-0. 206). Gerotranscendence also had a statistically significant positive correlation with the dimensions of quality of life (r=0. 221, P=0. 002), including depression and anxiety (r=0. 146, P=0. 04), mental performance (r=0. 167, P=0. 018), social performance (r=0. 266, P<0. 001), and satisfaction with life (r=0. 256, P<0. 001). Conclusion: Increasing Gerotranscendence increases the quality of life of the elderly.
