摘要：

AimsThis study aims to understand the impact of chronic conditions on perceived health and well-being among rural, community-dwelling older adults and to identify the barriers and supports impacting the perceived health and well-being among this population.MethodsA convergent mixed-methods design was conducted using the Pizzi Health and Wellness Assessment (PHWA) and semi-structured interviews.ResultsParticipants' feelings about their health on the PHWA highlighted positive familial (M = 9.67, SD = 1), social (M = 8.67, SD = 1.12), occupational (M = 8.67, SD = 1.94), and spiritual (M = 8.56, SD = 2.13) health. Qualitative analysis revealed overarching themes: the impact of rural living and factors affecting health and well-being.ConclusionCommunity-dwelling older adults with chronic conditions perceived their health and well-being as impacted by benefits and barriers of rural living. Positive perceptions of health and well-being were connected to family and social support, spirituality, and meaningful occupations.
