Abstract

The purpose of life is a variable directly associated with mental health; Due to the rapid aging of the population and the lengthening of life expectancy, it is necessary to carry out research that focuses on the elderly. In this sense, a non-probabilistic sample of 540 older adults was studied, of which 200 reside in public asylum, 120 in private asylum, 120 with a family member and 100 live alone. It was a nonexperimental, cross-sectional and comparative study. It was found that 61.1% of the sample does not have a sense of purpose in life, there are statistically significant differences (p <0.05) between the groups, being those who reside with a family member who have the highest mean of this variable (119.50), while those residing in public asylum have the lowest average (78.16). A multiple linear regression model was carried out where it turned out that the factors that most influence the Sense of Life of the sample are Perception of the family situation, Spirituality and religion, as well as Perception of health.
