Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older adultswith unmet healthcare needs.
Methods: Data from the 2018 Korean National Health and Nutrition ExaminationSurvey were used. From a pool of 7992 participants, a final sample of 153 participants was analyzed using complexdescriptive statistics, independent t-test, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: In general, young age, beingmarried, employment, higher income, no hypertension, health insurance coverage as an employee, and living withsomeone were associated with higher the HRQoL. The following factors were significantly associated with lowerHRQoL scores: activity restriction (B=-0.15, p<.001), poor perceived health status (B=-0.14, p<.001), and higherdepressive symptom score (B=-0.01, p=.002). The explanatory power was approximately 58%, and the modelwas deemed suitable (Wald F=16.86, p<.001).
Conclusion: This study provides insights into the influence ofvarious characteristics of older adults with unmet healthcare needs on their HRQoL. Healthcare providers shoulddevelop strategies to reduce these unmet healthcare needs.
