| Annotation | 101 older people living in a southeast Queensland city completed self-report scales on the relationships between quality of life, depression, and three aspects of health locus of control for people living in retirement villages. Some older people reportedly find comfort in handing over control of their health to powerful others such as specialist medical practitioners or family members. However, doing this is linked with helplessness and depression. Levels of depression are closely related to perceptions of life quality, particularly in the areas of health, productivity, community involvement and general well-being. (RH). |
