| Summary: | Spiritual practices are supposed to be helpful for living with good ‘Quality of Life’ in old age. Here, firstly, the Quality of Life (QoL) of older urbanites of an Indian town has been evaluated by using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and the daily spiritual experience has been assessed by Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) according to the need of the respondents. The relationship between Spiritual practices and Quality of Life has been observed through Pearson correlation and the influence of spiritual practices on QoL has been assessed by regression analysis. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has been conducted to understand the principal spiritual factors affecting QoL of elderly people. Results show that practising spirituality insists most older people to remain hopeful about their life with good mental health. |
