Turning solitude into strength: Evaluating the use of positive psychotherapy for emotional empowerment among older Indian adults

The effect of a nurse-led intervention on emotional distress and feelings of emptiness among elderly individuals transitioning to retirement is of interest. Using a quasi-experimental design with 50 participants in each group, results revealed a significant reduction in both emotional distress and emptiness in the experimental group. Scores for emptiness decreased by 22.57% and scores for emotional distress decreased by 25.21%, while the control group showed minimal change. Thus, we show the positive effects of the intervention on improving life satisfaction and reducing psychological discomfort in older adults.

Abstract

The effect of a nurse-led intervention on emotional distress and feelings of emptiness among elderly individuals transitioning to retirement is of interest. Using a quasi-experimental design with 50 participants in each group, results revealed a significant reduction in both emotional distress and emptiness in the experimental group. Scores for emptiness decreased by 22.57% and scores for emotional distress decreased by 25.21%, while the control group showed minimal change. Thus, we show the positive effects of the intervention on improving life satisfaction and reducing psychological discomfort in older adults.
