Abstract

Background: Population aging presents a significant challenge that requires comprehensive planning. Limited research has been done on the interconnections between happiness, sleep, and self-care in older adults. This study aimed to determine the Happiness, Sleep quality, and Self-care ability among community-dwelling older adults in Tehran, 2023. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We selected 306 eligible, community-dwelling older adults through multistage sampling. Participants were recruited from comprehensive health service centers. We employed three assessments: the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Self-Care Ability Scale for the Elderly (SASE). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, the Spearman correlation test, and univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Results: The results indicated that 58% of older adults were male, 67.6% were married, and 44% were retired. A multivariate linear regression analysis revealed a significant association with happiness. Self-care ability had a negative impact (β = -1.50, p < 0.001), while sleep quality had a positive effect (β = 0.50, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Self-care and sleep quality are associated with overall happiness. Policymakers and planners should prioritize happiness enhancement by addressing its relationship with sleep and self-care practices. © The Author(s) 2024.
