Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a nursing home in Turkey in November 2019. The data were collected by the researchers with face-to-face interview technique by using "Personal Information Form", "Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM)", "Pain Management Inventory (PMI)" and "Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS)". Results: GPM total score was 48.95 +/- 11.24, and average LSS was 14.37 +/- 6.85. There is a positive statistically significant association between GPM and PMI (r=0.385; p<0.01), while there is a negative statistically significant association between GPM and LSS (r=-0.369; p<0.01). There is a negative statistically significant association between PMI and LSS (r=-0.344; p<0.01). Conclusion: It was found that elderly individuals had moderate level of pain and poor life satisfaction. It was found that as level of pain increased, elderly individuals' life satisfaction decreased.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPainLife SatisfactionElderly Nursing HomeArticle
