The Relationship

Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between widowhood and social participation on life satisfaction of the elderly in rural China. Methods: We used questionnaires and scales to investigate 322 rural elderly people in Shaanxi Province. Results: We found that widowhood was negatively correlated with social participation (P = 0.033). Widowhood was negatively correlated with life satisfaction (P = 0.007). Social activities play a mediating role between widowhood and life satisfaction. Conclusion: Widowhood directly affects the life satisfaction of the elderly, and widowhood affects the life satisfaction of the elderly through social activities. More participation in social activities is an effective way to improve the life satisfaction of the elderly.
