Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a pandemic affecting populations around the world. Currently, the severity of the disease had been adjusted from a pandemic to an endemic disease, but it can have a long-term impact on the health status of the elderly, both physical and mental health. The post COVID-19 symptom that remains and affects the elderly is depression. Therefore, this article aims to disseminate guidelines for mental health promotion in the elderly with depression after COVID-19 infection by applying the self-efficacy theory with resilience quotient (RQ). Thus, health personnel could use it as a guideline to encourage the elderly to be coping with depression correctly and appropriately.
