Resilience-Building Interventions for Older Adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic: a Comprehensive Review

EasyChair Preprint 14018

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for older adults, including increased health risks, social isolation, and disruptions in daily routines. This abstract explores various resilience-building interventions designed to promote coping skills and enhance resilience among older adults facing the challenges of the pandemic. The review focuses on three main types of interventions: resilience training programs, psychoeducational workshops on coping strategies, and peer support groups for sharing experiences and resources.

Resilience training programs aim to equip older adults with essential skills and strategies to adapt and bounce back from adversity. These programs often incorporate elements such as stress management techniques, problem-solving skills, positive thinking exercises, and emotional regulation strategies. Research has shown that participation in resilience training programs can significantly improve psychological well-being, enhance coping abilities, and reduce the negative impact of stressors associated with the pandemic.
