The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | A descriptive research design was utilized to identify the quality of life perceived by 46 male veterans, ages 55 to 75 years. They resided in a domiciliary. The data analyses of the four quality of life subscales showed human dignity, the living environment, and health and medical care with more positive outcomes than activities of body and mind. The subjects also viewed their self-assessed health and self-assessed quality of life as positive. The care of increasing numbers of aging veterans in institutional settings is a major responsibility and concern of the nursing profession. Nurses need to be cognizant of the perceptions veterans have regarding their quality of life. Only then can nurses develop appropriate care plans and interventions to enhance their quality of life. Nursing's goal is to assist the veteran to function at the highest level of which he is capable. | |
