Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to measure the relationship between the recognition of well-dying, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and repulsion-related nursing homes and community-dwelling older adults. Method: A descriptive survey was conducted among 505 community-dwelling older adults aged over 65 years. Data were collected from October 25 to November 30, 2023, and analyzed using a t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results: The results reveal that the subjects' recognition of well-dying was 2.30, HRQoL was 0.84, and repulsion-related nursing home was 3.31 points. Recognition of well-dying was significantly correlated with HRQoL (r=.10, p=.024). Conclusion: The results indicate that consumer-centered, well-dying education programs for community-dwelling older adults should be developed and applied continuously through effectiveness verification.
