Shrestha MK, Adhikari RD, Ranjitkar UD and Chand A

Introduction: Life satisfaction in senior citizens has been used as an indicator to evaluate senior citizens life conditions, reflecting multiple and broad domains. The objective of this study is to find out the level of life satisfaction among senior citizens in a community of Kathmandu.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used for conducting this research study among 150 senior citizens residing in Tarakeshwor Municipality of Kathmandu District over a period of 4 weeks from 2nd July to 28th July 2017 through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Life Satisfaction among senior citizens was assessed by semi structured interview. Data was analyzed by using SPSS 16. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics: chi square test was used.

Results and Discussion: The results of this study showed that most (82.7%) of the senior citizens were satisfied with overall satisfaction level. There was significant association between overall life satisfaction and good economic status, ownership of property (p=0.019) and having good family income (p=0.001) and having sufficient financial support (p=0.004).

Conclusion: This study concluded that most of the senior citizens were satisfied with their life and only few senior citizens were dissatisfied. Hence, this study suggested that efforts should be directed towards enhancement of life satisfaction of senior citizens through providing sufficient financial support, having good family income, and having ownership in property.
