ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and selfperceptionof aging on elderly with chronic illness. Psychological well-being is defined aswelfare that consists of self-acceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relationswith others, environmental mastery, and autonomy (Ryff & Keyes, 1995), whereas selfperceptionof aging is an individual perspective towards the aging process they experienceand the subjective attitude of elderly regarding their own aging process (Lawton, 1975 inKim, Jang & Chiriboga, 2012). Previous studies assumed self-perception of aging as oneof the predictor of psychological well-being, but there is not much of attention to see thecorrelation between them especially in Indonesian older adults with chronic illness. 110older adults with chronic illness are involved in this study using Ryff’s Scale ofPsychological Well-Being (RSPWB) and Attitudes Toward Own Aging sub scale ofPhiladelphia Geriatric Center Morale and it is found that psychological well-being andself-perception of aging correlates positively and significantly (r = .203; p<.05).
