Abstract：Objective To analyze the mediating effect of social support between family resilience and quality of life among elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), so as to provide the basis for improving the quality of life among elderly patients with AD. Methods Elderly patients with AD who aged >60 years admitted to Wenzhou Seventh People's Hospital from August 2017 to June 2021 were selected. Data on demographic information, the severity of AD, and the profile of the primary caregivers were collected through questionnaire surveys. Social support, family resilience, and quality of life were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale, the Shortened Chinese Version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, and the Chinese Version of the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease Scale, respectively. The Process macro program was used to analyze the mediating effect of social support between family resilience and quality of life. Results A total of 137 elderly patients with AD were surveyed. The mean age of the participants was (69.26±10.93) years. Among them, there were 63 males (45.99%) and 74 females (54.01%). The mean scores for social support, family resilience, and quality of life were (27.93±4.28), (97.34±10.06), and (27.82±7.27) points, respectively. The results of the mediating effect analysis indicated that family resilience could directly and positively affect the quality of life, with an effect value of 0.319 (95%CI: 0.122-0.491). It could also indirectly and positively affect the quality of life through social support, with an effect value of 0.118 (95%CI: 0.030-0.248). The mediating effect accounted for 26.42% of the total effect. Conclusion Social support plays a positive mediating role between family resilience and quality of life among elderly patients with AD.
