Objectives: The increase in the elderly population over the past decades has become a global phenomenon, so it is necessary to make appropriate policies for improving welfare and wellbeing of this group. There is little consensus in the theoretical field regarding the concept of wellbeing, therefore this study examines the dimensions and indicators of the seniors wellbeing in the published studies of this field.
Methods & Materials: Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage methodological framework for scoping reviews guided this scoping literature review. This study has reviewed all English and Persian papers published in the last twenty years that have examined the dimensions and indicators of wellbeing in older people. After screening, 25 studies were included in the analysis.
Results: The dominant approach to study wellbeing in older people is a multiple approach, exploring a combination of objective and subjective dimensions. The most mentioned dimensions are: health status, mental wellbeing, social relationship, living environment, economic status, resources and capabilities. The wellbeing indicators are presented in a multifacet model according to individual level, family level, local level and social level.
Coclusion: Policy making for seniors wellbeing, need to consider both objective and subjective dimensions and different indicators based on the context of society.
