Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between resilience, family support, and hopelessness, as well as to identify the effects of resilience and family support on the hopelessness of elderly inpatients in general hospitals. Methods: A total of 177 elderly persons were recruited from three general hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson;s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The score on the hopelessness of hospitalized elderly persons was $2.88{\pm}0.88$ (range: 1-5). Multiple regression analysis results showed that participants; hopelessness was significantly influenced by resilience and family support, explaining 35.4% of the total variance. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, there is a need for the development of a resilience and family support program, aimed at reducing hopelessness among elderly persons, in order to promote their mental health.
