The Relationship Between the Level of Satisfaction of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Loneliness, Happiness and Life Satisfaction in Elderly Individuals.

Summary: As people get older, making sure their basic needs are met is very important for their mental health. A study in Turkey looked at how meeting these needs—like having enough money, feeling safe, and being loved—affects older adults. The results showed that when older people have their needs met, they feel much less lonely. They also feel happier and more satisfied with their lives. Things like going to school, being married, and having enough money made a big difference. Nurses and doctors can use this information to help create better support systems so older adults can live happier, healthier lives.
