Resumo: Due to the current accelerated population aging, and the socioeconomic changes that it entails, the study of the quality of life and self-esteem perceived by the elderly was an educational response to face it. In Ecuador, scientific contributions that allow the understanding and prediction of these variables are limited, the reason that motivated this paper with the aim to verify the relationship between quality of life and self-esteem perceived by a sample of 160 retired elderly people from the coast region. It was a descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study, data collection was through the FUMAT Quality of Life and Rosenberg Self-esteem questionnaires. Among the most relevant findings it was found that: 77% of older adults perceive a low quality of life and 76% low self-esteem. It was confirmed that quality of life is related to self-esteem in a directly proportional or positive way (r = .332; p <.05), that is to say, as quality of life decreases, self-esteem decreases too. It is concluded that factors such as retirement, widowhood, age, perception of low physical well-being and socialization contribute negatively to the perception of quality of life and self-esteem of this group.

En Ecuador son escasos los aportes científicos que permiten la comprensión y predicción de estas variables, lo cual motivó el presente artículo con el objetivo de comprobar la relación entre la calidad de vida y autoestima percibida por una muestra de 160 adultos mayores jubilados, de la región costa. La investigación fue de tipo descriptivo-correlacional y transversal; la recolección de datos fue mediante los cuestionarios de Calidad de Vida FUMAT y Autoestima de Rosenberg. Entre los hallazgos más relevantes se encontró que el 77 % de adultos mayores percibe una baja calidad de vida y el 76 % autoestima baja. Se confirma que la calidad de vida se relaciona con la autoestima de forma directamente proporcional o positiva (r= .332; p< .05), es decir, a medida que disminuye la calidad de vida disminuye la autoestima. Se concluye que factores como jubilación, viudez, edad, percepción de escaso bienestar físico y socialización contribuyen negativamente a la percepción de calidad de vida y autoestima de este grupo.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2022-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/366910.1590/SciELOPreprints.3669spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3669/6794Copyright (c) 2022 Hanny Teresita García Cervantes, Juana Rosario Lara-Machadohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCervantes, Hanny Teresita GarcíaLara-Machado, Juana Rosarioreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2022-02-21T20:16:25Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/3669Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2022-02-21T20:16:25SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
