To evaluate the effect of a community-based intergenerational programme on life satisfaction among older adults residing in an urban area.
Conducted a quasi-experimental pretest–post-test control group study in Bogor City, Indonesia, enrolling 68 older adults aged 60 years or older.
Assigned participants to either a 6-week intergenerational intervention group (n = 34) or a control group receiving educational leaflets (n = 34).
Measured outcomes using a modified Life Satisfaction Index–Short Form and evaluated differences using t-tests, chi-square tests, and multiple logistic regression.
Life satisfaction in the intervention group increased significantly following the 6-week programme (p < 0.001), whereas the control group demonstrated no significant change (p = 0.919).
Multivariate analysis showed gender had a significant effect on life satisfaction (p = 0.004), with female older adults being more likely to achieve higher life satisfaction than males.
