Happiness of Thai Elderly in Thailand 4.0

Abstract

Happiness for people entering the elderly is importance. The elderly often lack happiness or have decreased happiness more easily than other ages because they have to face many changes in life, including physical, psychosocial and spiritual changes. They also have more restrictions on living than other ages, especially when there is a change in the era of Thailand 4.0 with the use of technology, creativity, innovation, science and research in daily life. Therefore, encouraging the elderly to be happy by organizing health promotion activities to cover physical, psychosocial and spiritual aspects by using five dimensions of happiness (health, recreation, integrity, cognition, and peacefulness) activities for the elderly, will help create positive feelings. This positive feeling will enable the elderly to live together in family and society with happiness, honor, and human dignity. Additionally, they can do benefits and drive the community as an experienced person among social change and be happy in the era of Thailand 4.0.
