Abstract
Resilience and support from both family members and friends significantly correlated with quality of life in empty nesters.
- Social support is associated with improved quality of life (QOL) among empty nesters.
- Both family and friend support play important roles in the relationship between resilience and QOL.
- The study partially confirms the hypothesis regarding the indirect effects of social support on resilience and QOL.
- Findings provide insights into the mental and physical health of empty nesters in China.
