“…On the contrary, the death and dying facet had the least score in a study conducted among the Dutch elderly [15]. Intimacy had the maximum score in many studies [10,12,16,18], but this facet had the second lowest score in our study which indicates a lack of close company in older age in this subset of Indian elderly. In a study by Robbert et al [15], more than 70% of the elderly were living with their spouse, but still the intimacy facet was the least scored one.…”

“…The goodness-of fit-statistics were found to be satisfactory in our study for the six-factor model like other studies [9,13,15,21,22]. A Nigerian study proposed a four-factor model [10], whereas a study by Erhan et al in Turkey proposed a five-factor model with "PPF" and "SOP" as a single factor [16]. Some overlapping between item scales was observed in a study by Sultan et al [18].…”

“…The total/overall score of QOL by using the WHOQOL-OLD questionnaire in the Hindi language was 54.3 (±9.3) among the subjects of this study. This score was the least among other similar international studies [10,13,[15][16][17] where the range of scores was from 77.72 (±10.41) to 95.66 (±18.56), but the score of our study was comparable to a study done in Turkey where the score was 56.02 (±11.6) [18]. A comparative study between Brazil and India by Figueira et al found lesser QOL scores in both Brazilian and Indian elderly as compared to this study [19].…”

Background: The perception of quality of life (QOL) is a subjective concept; however, attempts have been made to discern the key points and to give a metric view of this concept. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Older Adults (WHOQOL-OLD) module is an international and cross-cultural tool that quantifies the QOL in older adults.Objectives: This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Hindi version of the WHOQOL-OLD module by calculating its reliability and validity among the elderly residing in the Dehradun district of India.Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 440 elderlies from the rural and urban areas of Dehradun by using the Hindi version of the WHOQOL-OLD questionnaire. The mean and standard deviations were calculated for QOL scores. Reliability was checked by calculating Cronbach's alpha (α), and factor analysis was done for the validity of the questionnaire.Results: Mean (±SD) for total QOL score was 54.3 (±9.3). The death and dying facet had the maximum mean score, whereas the minimum mean score was calculated in the autonomy facet. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the overall QOL score was calculated as 0.86 which shows good internal consistency of the items in the questionnaire. To measure the construct validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) by principal components analysis (PCA) was performed on the 24 items of the WHOQOL-OLD module, and a six-factor model was identified. Satisfactory goodness-of-fit statistics were found on the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Conclusion: QOL is a multidimensional concept. The Hindi version of the WHOQOL-OLD module is reliable and valid. QOL in the elderly population can be measured by using the WHOQOL-OLD module in India.

Aims and objectives Determination of the effect of deep breathing exercise applied with Triflo on dyspnoea, anxiety and quality of life in patients who are hospitalized for COVID‐19 and have dyspnoea. Backround COVID‐19 is a viral infection that can cause severe pulmonary disease. Deep breathing exercise with Triflo in patients with COVID‐19 may contribute to the reduction/elimination of dyspnoea and anxiety, and improvement of respiratory and quality of life. Design The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial and conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 guidelines. Methods The study was conducted in the clinic of COVID‐19 of a tertiary hospital. A total of 44 eligible participants were enrolled from January to April 2021. Primary outcomes included oxygen saturation in the blood, respiratory assessment and dyspnoea level. Secondary outcomes included anxiety and quality of life. In the statistical analysis of the data, the independent sample t‐test, Wilcoxon test, Mann–Whitney U test and Spearman correlation were used to examine the intervention effect on primary outcomes and secondary outcomes, according to numbers, percentage, mean, standard deviation and conformity to normal distribution. Results It was determined that the patients in the deep breathing group had a statistically significant shorter hospitalization time (3.04 ± 0.65), higher SpO2 level (97.05 ± 1.46) and higher quality of life (77.82 ± 6.77) compared with the patients in the usual care group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Deep breathing exercise with Triflo increases the SpO2 level and quality of life in patients with COVID‐19 and contributes to a decrease in dyspnoea and anxiety levels. Moreover, the duration of hospital stay is shortened in patients who are applied deep breathing exercise with Triflo. Relevance to clinical practice With deep breathing exercise applied with Triflo, respiratory rate reaches normal limits in a short time, SpO2 levels increase significantly, and quality of life improves significantly in patients with COVID‐19 pneumonia.
