Abstract
Background: The Resilience Enhancement Program for Elderly (REP-E) is a workshop for an intervention designed to boost mental resilience in the elderly.
Objectives: To investigate effects of a REP-E on the mental resilience of older persons.
Methods: A quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest was designed with nonequivalent groups. The sample consisted of 46 older persons in Mueang District, Chainat Province, who were divided into an experimental group and a control group, 23 people per group. The experimental group received the REP-E for 8 weeks, 90 minutes each time. The control group received educational materials on mental resilience enhancement. The REP-E was used as an intervention in the experiment. The instrument used for data collection was the mental resiliene assessment form with a reliability tested by Cronbach alpha coefficient of .91. The mental resilience levels were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. A paired t-test was used to compare a mental resilience levels of before and after experiment. An independent t-test was used to compare a mental resilience levels of the experiment group and the control group.
Results: The results showed that after receiving the REP-E, the experimental group had significantly higher mental resilience than before the experiment and significant higher than the control group at .01.
Conclusions: The findings indicated that the REP-E can improve mental resilience. Therefore, health workers can apply the program activities as a guideline for the eldery as well as for people of other age groups.
