Factors Correlated to Stress Management among Thai Elderly

摘要

This cross-sectional survey research aimed to study the correlations among responsibility for health, interpersonal relationships, spiritual health and stress management among Thai elderly. Samples comprised 400 elderly people residing in the municipality area in eastern Thailand selected by multi-stage sampling. Research instruments included 4 questionnaires, i.e., stress management, interpersonal relationships, spiritual health and responsibility for health. Personal interviews were conducted to collect data between May and July, 2015. Results showed that stress management correlated with interpersonal relationships and spiritual health but did not correlate with responsibility for health.
