The impact of social exclusion on life satisfaction and psychological well-being in the elderly: a cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study is conducted in order to examine the impact of social exclusion on life satisfaction and psychological well-being among the elderly people.
methodsBeing descriptive cross-sectional, this study was conducted with 517 elderly adults in Turkey. Data were collected using a socio-demographic information form, the Social Exclusion Scale for the Elderly (SESE), the Life Satisfaction Scale for the Elderly (LSSE), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale for the Elderly (PWBSE).
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 69.91 ± 5.63 years (Min-Max.=65-96). They scored an average of 60.87 ± 16.15 points from the SESE, a total of 46.64 ± 11.01 points from the LSSE and a total of 48.53 ± 11.06 points from the PWBSE. Social exclusion, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being levels were found to be above average. Higher education and income levels were associated with lower social exclusion and higher life satisfaction and psychological well-being (p < .05). A significant negative relationship was found between SESE and both LSSE and PWBSE scores (r=-.087 to -0.292, p < .05). Regression analyses showed that social exclusion explained 1.1% of life satisfaction and 2.3% of psychological well-being. When qualitative and quantitative variables were added to both models, the percentage of explanation increased to 47.7% and 51.5%, respectively.
conclusionSocial exclusion is thought to affect life satisfaction and psychological well-being in older individuals, but it is estimated to have a greater impact on psychological well-being. Interventions aimed at improving social inclusion-particularly those addressing education, income, and living environment-may enhance the well-being of elderly. Community health nurses can play a key role in implementing supportive and inclusive strategies.
