of policies to improve the welfare of senior citizens. The establishment of the Elderly Activity
Center (PAWE) in urban and rural areas throughout Malaysia is one of the government's
initiatives in preparation to be an old country by 2030. Nevertheless, since the establishment
of PAWE in 2001, there has been scarce research about services provided to senior citizens at
PAWE. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify level of quality of life among senior
citizens at PAWE in urban and rural areas. The survey was conducted on 156 respondents in
four PAWE locations namely PAWE Sungai Buloh, PAWE Cheras, PAWE Jenjarom and
PAWE Sabak Bernam. The data were collected by using Older People Quality of Life
(OPQOL-35) questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using Statistical Package Social
Science (SPSS) by using descriptive analysis to identify the quality of life according to the
respondents' demographic information. The results showed that the quality of life among
urban respondents were higher than rural respondents, quality of life of male respondents
were higher than female respondents while the quality of life among Chinese respondents
was higher than Malay and Indian respondents. For the quality of life according to age,
respondents aged 71 to 80 years were higher in qulity of life level than respondents aged 60
to 70 years and 81 to 90 years. This study is expected to give impact on the awareness to
concerned parties about the advantages of community-based activity center which can
increase the qualilty of life among elderly. |
