The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships among disablement, socioeconomic status and QOL of the home-bound elderly. Data were collected from 56 chronically disabled elderly persons (mean age of 76.7 ± 9.7 years) who needed a long-term home-based care. They were assessed on QOL, activities of daily living (ADL) as well as socioeconomic condition. The QOL was evaluated by using Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGC Morale Scale). The ADL and socioeconomic condition were evaluated by the Barthel index and the ESCROW profile respectively. These data were analyzed using Spearman's rank order correlation test. As a result, there was a negative relationship between the Barthel index score and the ESCROW score (r=-0.554, P<0.01). This negative relationship implies that the more one becomes independent in ADL, the better his socioeconomic status improves. It was also revealed that there was a significant relationship between the PGC Morale Scale score and the Barthel index score (r=0.276, P<0.05), and we found a negative correlation betweenthe PGC Morale Scale score and the ESCROW score (Social interaction ; r=-0.386 and Retirement status ; r=-0.388, P<0.05). These results suggest that in order to improve their QOL, ADL must be improved. Therefore, rehabilitation should be continued to maintain their function as soon as discharging from hospitals and facilities for rehabilitation. The results also indicate how the patient's independence in the daily life influences social and economic status, and consequently it affects the QOL.
