Abstract
Background: Psychological health promotion advocates for the psychological self-care behavior of older adults, leading to a healthier everyday life and an improved psychological well-being of older adults.
Objectives: This study aims to study the effects of the psychological health promotion program using experiential learning on psychological self-care behavior and well-being among older adults.
Methods: The sample for this quasi-experimental research was 60 older adults divided into an experimental and control group composed of 30 older adults for each group. The research instruments were the psychological self-care behavior questionnaire and the psychological well-being questionnaire. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for them were .97 and .96, respectively. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test.
Results: The finding showed that the average scores of post-test on the psychological healthcare behavior and psychological well-being of the experiment group were significantly higher than the pre-test average scores at .05. Besides, the average scores for psychological self-care behavior and psychological well-being were significantly higher than the average scores of the control group (p < .05).
Conclusions: The psychological health promotion program using experiential learning can be used to develop the psychological self-care behavior and the psychological well-being of the elderly. Therefore, this program can be implemented to prevent mental health problems in the elderly within difference contexts involving the elderly.
