Abstract

Introduction: The elderly need Social support to reduce their physical and mental disabilities. Perceived Social support is one of the effective factors in the lifestyle of older adults. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between perceived Social support and Mental health status among older adults. Materials and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional analytical study. The study data were collected using a Perceived Social support (PSS) scale and general health questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). A total of 302 eligible older adults were selected through a random sampling method from primary health centers in the north, south, east, west, and center of Tehran. The inclusion criteria were those community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years and with normal cognitive abilities. The collected data were analyzed using t test, ANOVA, the Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regressions. Results: The Mean± SD age of older adults was 70. 01± 6. 29 years. Their Mean± SD scores of the PSS and GHQ-12 were 130. 95± 16. 05 and 7. 29± 5. 55, respectively. The results showed no significant relationship between demographic variables and PSS. There was a significant inverse correlation between the PSS score and the GHQ-12 score (P= 0. 01, r=-0. 878). The PSS explained 0. 66 of the total variances of “ positively phrased items” of GHQ-12 (adjusted R = 0. 66) and 0. 76 of the total variances of “ negatively phrased items” of GHQ-12 (adjusted R 2 = 0. 76). Conclusion: Our findings showed that the PSS and Mental health are at a desirable level in this study, and the PSS is not affected by demographic variables. The PSS is a promoting factor for Mental health status among older adults.
