This correlational study explores the quality of life and its associated factors among older adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study included 84 patients, all aged 60 and over, who had undergone TKA surgery at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. Data were gathered through structured interviews using the Demographic Data Recording Form, the Thai version of the Modified WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster University) Questionnaire, and the WHOQOL–BREF–THAI Questionnaire. Test reliability of instruments was .80. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, as well as Eta and Pearson’ s product-moment correlation coefficients. Results showed that the overall quality of life for patients was generally good (Mean=102.59, S.D.=13.88). Subsection analysis revealed that environment (Mean=33.01, S.D.=5.87) and mental health (Mean=24.25, S.D.=3.54) were rated as good, while physical health (Mean=25.96, S.D. =3.59) and social relations (Mean=11.50, S.D.=1.86) were rated as moderate. Knee movement was significantly negative related to overall quality of life (r=-.342, p≤.01), while variables such as sex, disease status and body mass index showed weak, non- significance relationships. Furthermore, age, the number of knees operated on, pain and stiffness did not significantly affect overall quality of life (p-value >.05). These findings provide valuable baseline information for nurses and healthcare providers aiming to enhance the quality of life in elderly TKA patients. The insights from this study could be applied to improve patient care in the future.
