This study aimed to assess factors influencing quality of life among elderly people living with HIV\/AIDS in a northern province of Thailand.\n <\/ns4:p>\n \n Methods:<\/ns4:bold>\n This cross-sectional study was conducted in Phayao province, Thailand. A systematic sampling technique was employed to select study participants. 152 elderly participants aged 60 years and older with a family member living with HIV\/AIDS were recruited to the study. They were interviewed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaire. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing quality of life among elderly people affected by family member living with HIV\/AIDS.\n <\/ns4:p>\n \n Results:<\/ns4:bold>\n The results of the study showed the mean age of elderly participants was 67.20\n +<\/ns4:underline>\n 52 years, most of which were female (97 persons, 63.8%). The mean time taking care of HIV\/AIDS patients was 6.61\n +<\/ns4:underline>\n 4.96 years. In term of health status among the elderly participants, the majority did not have chronic diseases (61.4%), amongst those with chronic diseases (38.6%), hypertension and diabetes were the most common. The average quality of life score was at a fair level. \u00a0The time taking care of HIV\/AIDS patients and health status were significant predictors of quality of life among participants 8.1 % (\n \n R\n 2<\/ns4:sup>\n <\/ns4:italic>\n =.081;\n p<\/ns4:italic>\n < .05).\n <\/ns4:p>\n \n Conclusion:<\/ns4:bold>\n In order to improve quality of life among elderly caregivers to family member living with HIV\/AIDS, time taking care of HIV\/AIDS patients and health status should be focused on, amongst other factors. Help and support from the government, community, health organizations, academic research, and family members can help improve quality of life amongst the elderly.\n
