AB - The aims of this study was to investigate the meaning of the quality of life recognized by the elderly in Korea by applying the qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis (QIMS) newly introduced in the social welfare field at Korea and other countries. The quality of life of the elderly in Korea is negatively and positively influenced by various factors such as degenerative elderly disease, lifestyle and life environment choice, extension of aging, extension of life expectancy, and rapid social change. This study integrates the existing individual qualitative research results and reinterprets them on the premise that they emphasize and explore the risk factors and protective factors related to the quality of life of the elderly in Korea through the systematic process of qualitative and interpretive meta-synthesis. The results of the study are as follows: 4 independent and comprehensive themes were created; (1) various life experiences, (2) maintaining a good state, (3) taking better care of oneself, (4) taking new perspective on life. Based on these results, this study aims to contribute to the development of the quality of life theory considering the characteristics of the elderly in Korea in the future, and to provide a greater understanding of the researchers and experts in the field of social welfare practice such as welfare for the elderly and welfare for the disabled in strengthening the maintenance and improvement factors related to the quality of life of the elderly.
