Purpose: This study was done to examine the relationship of successful aging, depression, and family function in rural elders.
Method: A descriptive correlation study design was used and data of the study were collected from 272 people who were overn 65 years of age and lived in a rural community.
Result: The mean score for successful aging was 2.28±0.46 points of a maximum 3 points. The elders showed a moderate degree of family function (6.98±2.83 points out of 10 points). The mean score for depression was 6.13±3.75 points out of 15 points. There was a statistically significant correlation between successful aging and both depression (r=-.659, p<.001) and family function (r=.621, p<.001). Stepwise regression analysis was done to verify factors influencing successful aging. Depression was the dominant factor accounting for 43.2% of the total variance, followed by family function and age in that order. Inclusion of all of the study values resulted in an explanation power of 61.7%.
Conclusion: The study results suggest that the provision of individual socio-psychological, and economic measures is important to promote successful aging in rural areas which are different in terms of socio-cultural as well as regional factors compared to urban areas
