摘要
AbstractObjectives: Aging is often characterized by declines in physical and mental health and increased risk for depression and social isolation. A protective factor that has been found to effectively moderate these phenomena is psychological well-being. The aim of his study was to pilot test a novel group intervention (Lighten UP! program) for the promotion of psychological well-being in older adults living in the community.Methods: Lighten UP! is an eight-week program consisting of 90-minute group session designed to teach participants to identify and savor positive experiences across multiple domains of eudaimonic well-being. It was delivered to a sample of 103 men and women aged 60 or over, that were assessed pre- and post-intervention with Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB), Life Satisfaction scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, Symptom Questionnaire, and items measuring sleep complaints and social well-being.Results: At the end of the eight weeks, participants reported significantly increased PWB, life satisfaction, and social well-being along with lower levels of depression and fewer physical symptoms and sleep complaints. These gains were particularly robust for individuals with lower pre-program levels of PWB.Conclusions: This pilot investigation suggests the feasibility of a short group program for enhancing well-being in older adults. Future controlled investigations with long-term follow-up assessment are needed to confirm the effectiveness and sustained benefits of the Lighten UP! program.Keywords: psychological well-beingpositive aginggroup interventiondepressionpositive psychotherapy Disclosure statementThe Authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.Additional informationFundingClinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program: NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) [grant number UL1TR000427]; UW School of Medicine and Public Health: Wisconsin Partnership Program, by the Community and Academic Aging Research Network (CAARN); National Institute on Aging (AG041750 to EMF).
