Relationship between Spiritual Well-Being and Life Satisfaction for Canadian Middle-Aged Adults

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and life satisfaction for middle-aged adults who are between 35 to 64 years of age. A descriptive co-relational design was utilized in this study. The study involved the completion of a self-report questionnaire and the sample consisted of 62 subjects selected through convenience sampling. The spiritual well-being consists of two subscales: the religious well-being and the existential well-being. The Satisfaction with Life Scale was used to assess one aspect of subjective overall life satisfaction. The results showed that the relationship between spiritual well-being and life satisfaction for the middle-aged adults was strongly correlated (r=.373, p=001). There was no significant result in demographic characteristics with multiple regression analysis, but spiritual well-being significantly contributed to life satisfaction as a predictor that explained 13.9% of the variance among middle-aged adults. The research suggests spiritual wellbeing is a factor when examining strategies for life satisfaction toward successful aging in middle-aged adults.
