“…The findings are consistent with the number of post-earthquake studies in which the functional status of older survivors was associated with older adults' HQL. 34 The current study was consistent with a cross-sectional study on predictors of quality of life and depression among 189 older people living in temporary houses at 13 months after the Wenchuan earthquake in western China that reported IADLs as predictors of HQL. 35 Those older adults, who were physically, mentally, and socially active in the aftermath of the earthquake, had better HQL.…”

Objective: Health-related quality of life (HQL) among older adults is often neglected and underprioritized in developing countries and is further burdened during natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The main objective of this study was to explore the factors affecting HQL among older adults living in Lalitpur District of Nepal. Methods: A total of 362 older adults participated in this study. Questionnaires were used to interview the respondents on various aspects, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, functional ability, and social support. An analysis was made to explore the factors affecting HQL. Results: HQL scores ranged between 3.13 and 90.63. A majority of the respondents (215/362; 59.4%) scored ≤ 50, indicating poorer HQL. The multivariate analysis found the impact of the following factors on HQL: functional status (β = 0.295; P < 0.001), PTSD (β = −0.225; P < 0.001), chronic disease (β = −0.168; P < 0.001), social support (β = 0.120; P = 0.019), injury (β = −0.104; P = 0.024), age (β = −0.116; P < 0.001), and accessibility to resources. Conclusion: Poor HQL of older adults was dependent on various factors. The disaster preparedness program in Nepal needs urgent attention to address the concerns of older adults by incorporating the findings from this study.

“…There are two classical schools of thought who viewed social trust differently; the social psychological thought believes in individualism, while the societal school of thought believes in collectivism. According to social-psychological school of thought, trust is an essential element of an individual's personality traits (Liang & Ju, 2016), because an individual's learning about trust starts from his or her home, and this childhood socialization changes with the passage of time as the experience is gained (Uslaner, 2000). Moreover, social trust is reliant not only on the reciprocity of experience, but is also closely associated with the subjective feelings and the kind of the personality that an individual has (Uslaner, 1999).…”

Combined Effects of Drivers and Impact of Customer Satisfaction on Brand Loyalty: The Contingent Effect of Social Trust

We strived to examine the combined effects of drivers and consequences of customers’ satisfaction particularly in quick-meal restaurants besides examining the interaction effect of social trust on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Offline survey was conducted to approach the respondents of fast-food visitors. The valid data were assessed and analyzed through structural equation modeling and moderation step-by-step approach. The findings demonstrate that restaurant stimuli—food, service, atmosphere, location, price, and a variety of food—have robust effects on customers’ satisfaction and eventually on brand loyalty. Social trust has rigorous effect on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Customers with high social trust have a positive strong bonding with restaurants than those holding low social trust. Theoretical and practical implications have been deliberated and offer some valuable recommendations along for future scholars.

“…The relationship between widowhood and ADL scores has received some attention (Hacihasanoğlu et al, 2012; Poppel & Joung, 2001). Previous research has shown that widowed individuals are more likely to develop an ADL‐related disability (Hsiao et al, 2021) and are more vulnerable to deterioration as a result of an ADL‐related disability (Liang & Ju, 2016; Qian et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2019). Aside from ADL scores, hospitalisation is also a critical predictor of objective health.…”

The plethora of pathways leading to health problems of later life has made the causal assessment of widowhood on the health of older adults difficult. This research aimed to assess the short‐term impact of widowhood on the objective health of older adults and to the moderating role of community‐based care (CBC) in improving the health outcomes of older adults. In this study, the activities of daily living (ADLs) and number of hospitalisations of older adults were measured, and PSM‐DID models were conducted. Widowhood had a significant negative impact on the objective health of older adults. Widowed adults had higher ADL scores (B = 0.569, 95 percent CI: 0.295 to 0.844) and more hospitalisations (B = 2.551, 95 percent CI: 1.189 to 3.914) than nonwidowed adults. Meanwhile, CBC in urban areas can significantly reduce ADL scores (B = −0.154, SE = 0.082) and the number of hospitalisations (B = −1.402, SE = 0.348) in older adults, whereas CBC in rural areas can only significantly reduce ADL scores (B = −0.197, SE = 0.087). Taken together, there is an urgent need to focus on the health of widowed and older adults and to provide CBC in both urban and rural areas equally.
