Detailed Description

Background:

As the global population ages, there is an increasing need to address the psychological well-being of older adults living independently in the community. Previous research has highlighted the importance of resilience in maintaining mental health and coping with life stressors among older individuals. However, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of specific interventions aimed at enhancing resilience in this population.

Objective:

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a resilience-building nursing intervention in improving the psychological well-being of community-dwelling older adults. Secondary objectives include assessing the impact of the intervention on factors such as social support, coping strategies, and quality of life.

Study Design:

This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving the resilience-building nursing intervention, or the control group, receiving standard care.

Intervention:

The resilience-building nursing intervention will consist of individualized sessions delivered by trained nurses. The intervention will focus on enhancing participants\' resilience through skill-building exercises, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and psychoeducation. Sessions will be tailored to address the unique needs and challenges of each participant.

Participants:

The target population for this study includes community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and above who are experiencing mild to moderate psychological distress. Participants will be recruited from community centers, senior living facilities, and primary care clinics.

Procedures:

Participants will undergo baseline assessments to collect demographic information and baseline measures of psychological well-being. Those assigned to the intervention group will receive the resilience-building nursing intervention over a specified period, with follow-up assessments conducted at regular intervals to evaluate outcomes.

Outcome Measures:

Primary outcome measures will include changes in psychological well-being, as assessed by standardized scales such as the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Psychological Well-being Scale. Secondary outcome measures will include social support, coping strategies, and quality of life.

Statistical Analysis:

Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical methods, including t-tests, chi-square tests, and linear regression. Sample size calculations will ensure adequate power to detect meaningful differences between groups.

Ethical Considerations:

This study will adhere to ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants, and measures will be taken to ensure participant confidentiality and privacy.

Data Management:

Data will be collected using secure electronic data capture systems and stored in accordance with institutional guidelines and data protection regulations.
