研究概览
简要总结
This study involves a 26-week intervention module called ‘Swarna Mitra’, which uses positive psychology activities—such as practicing gratitude, optimism, compassion, forgiveness, helping others, enjoying small moments, using personal strengths, finding meaning in life, and building hope—to support the mental and emotional well-being of older adults living in old age homes.
The study will be conducted in six major Indian cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Kochi, Bangalore, and Chennai. In each city, 20 old age homes will participate. Out of these, 10 will be randomly selected to receive the Swarna Mitra program, while the other 10 will be placed on a waitlist and offered the program later.
The study will assess self-reported levels of flourishing, psychological well-being (which includes autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, positive relations with others, personal growth, and self-acceptance), and subjective happiness. It will also look at changes in loneliness, anxiety, depressive symptoms, quality of life, sleep quality, and positive and negative affect.
