Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to determine the effect of life story work on psychological well-being among the elderly.
Materials & Methods
This is a parallel, randomized, single-blind clinical trial conducted using a pretest-posttest design. A total of 60 elderly individuals were randomly recruited and assigned to two groups of Care As Usual (CAU) or Life Story Work (LSW). The LSW group received the life review therapy program based on Erikson's theory over six 60-minute sessions. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 16.0.
Results
Life story work was shown to be effective in improving the elderly's psychological well-being immediately and two months after the intervention in the LSW group (p < .001).
Conclusion
Life story work can be applied as a supportive and effective treatment method to promote psychological well-being among the elderly.
