Abstract (English): Objetive: To determine the quality of life and psychological well-being in non-institutionalized older people in Santiago de Chile during a period of social outbreak. Methodology: Non-experimental, descriptive, and transversal design study. The sample consisted of 59 people over 65 years of age who live in the community (13 men), average age 75.61±7.39 years; on-probabilistic convenience sampling was used. The measurements occurred during the months of October 2019 to February 2020, during the period of "social outbreak" that occurred in Chile. Quality of life was measured through the WHOqol Bref and psychological well-being through the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale. Results: Quality of life, both in general and in its subdimensions, was similar between men and women. For Psychological Well-being, the general average score was higher in women, marking differences in the dimensions: positive relationships, autonomy, mastery of the environment and purpose in life (p < 0.05); being lower than in men in self-acceptance and growth (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The levels of Quality of Life and Psychological Well-being were lower than those obtained in previous studies, which could suggest that the upheaval generated during the social outbreak could have negatively affected them.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivos: Determinar la calidad de vida y bienestar psicológico en personas mayores no institucionalizadas de Santiago de Chile durante un período de estallido social. Metodología: Estudio de diseño no experimental, descriptivo y transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 59 personas mayores de 65 años que viven en la comunidad (13 hombres), edad promedio 75,61±7,39 años; se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Las mediciones se llevaron a cabo en octubre de 2019 a febrero de 2020, durante el período de "estallido social" ocurrido en Chile. La calidad de vida fue medida a través del WHOqol Bref y el bienestar psicológico con la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff. Resultados: La calidad de vida, tanto en general como en sus subdimensiones, fue similar entre hombres y mujeres. Para el Bienestar Psicológico, el puntaje promedio general fue mayor en mujeres, marcando diferencias en las dimensiones Relaciones Positivas, Autonomía, Dominio del Entorno y Propósito en la Vida (p < 0,05); siendo menor que en los hombres en las de autoaceptación y Crecimiento (p < 0,05). Conclusiones: Los niveles de Calidad de Vida y Bienestar Psicológico fueron menores a los obtenidos en estudios previos, lo cual podría sugerir que la convulsión generada durante el estallido social podría haberlos afectado negativamente.
