چکیده فارسی: مسئله ارتقای سلامت و سبک زندگی سالم یکی از مهم‌ترین مسائل در روان‌شناسی است که علاقه روزافزون پژوهشگران به این موضوع و اهمیت سبک زندگی سالم در گروه‌های سنی مختلف را نشان می‌دهد. بنابراین این مطالعه باهدف بررسی رابطه بین سبک زندگی سالم و افسردگی با نقش میانجیگری احساس تنهایی در سالمندان بود. این مطالعه همبستگی از نوع مدلیابی معادلات ساختاری بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش سالمندان مرد و زن ساکن مراکز نگهداری و مراقبت سالمندان شهر بجنورد در سال 1401 بود، که از میان آنها تعداد 200 سالمند به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. داده‌ها به‌ وسیله پرسشنامه‌های افسردگی بک، سنجش سبک زندگی سالم در سالمندان ایرانی و احساس تنهایی اجتماعی و عاطفی بزرگسالان جمع‌آوری شد. داده‎‌ها با استفاده از مدل یابی معادلات ساختاری در نرم‌افزارهایSPSS-25 و 8-8  Lisrel تجزیه و تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که سبک زندگی سالم با افسردگی رابطه منفی معنادار در سالمندان دارد و همچنین سبک زندگی سالم با احساس تنهایی رابطه منفی معنادار دارد و احساس تنهایی با افسردگی رابطه مثبت معنادار دارد. همچنین شاخص های برازش مدل نیز مسیر سبک زندگی و افسردگی با میانجیگری احساس تنهایی را تایید کرد. از دیدگاه کاربردی می‌توان اظهار داشت آموزش سبک زندگی سالم به سالمندان از جمله ورزش، تغذیه مناسب و ارتباط اجتماعی نزدیک مانع از احساس تنهایی و افسردگی می‌شود. ضروری است تا پژوهشگران پژوهش‌های بیشتری در مورد سبک زندگی سالم در سالمندان انجام دهند.

The Relationship Between Lifestyle and Depression in the Elderly: The Mediating Role of Loneliness

English Abstract: The issue of the promotion of health and a healthy lifestyle seems to be one of the most important ones in psychology, which shows the ever-increasing interest of researchers in this issue and the importance of a healthy lifestyle in different age groups. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and depression with the mediating role of loneliness in the elderly. This was a correlational study of structural equations modeling (SEM) type. The statistical papulation included of elderly men and women living in the nursing and care centers for the elderly in Bojnord, Iran in 2022, among whom 200 elderly people were selected using convenience sampling method. The data were collected by Beck’s depression, healthy lifestyle in Iranian elderly people and social and adults’ emotional loneliness of questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SEM in SPSS-25 and Lisrel-8.8 software. The results revealed that the healthy lifestyle has a negative significant relationship with depression, and also the healthy lifestyle has a negative significant relationship with depression. Depression and loneliness had also a significant positive relationship (P<0.01). Besides, the fit indices of the model confirmed the path of healthy lifestyle and depression with the mediating role of loneliness. From a practical point of view, it can be said that teaching a healthy lifestyle to the elderly, including exercise, proper nutrition and close social contact, prevents loneliness and depression. It is necessary for researchers to conduct more research on healthy lifestyle in the elderly. References Abd-Alrazaq, A., Alajlani, M., Alhuwail, D., Toro, C.
