The Elderly Project: Attitude of Gratitude Group Intervention
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This developed group manual intends to help the elderly who are suffering from loneliness and isolation to gain control over their negative emotions. The aim of this manual is for this special population to improve their well-being by being grateful with the things that they have in order for them not to focus on what they lack or they do not possess. There will be six (6) sessions which will be executed on a weekly basis. The pretest or baseline observation will allow the researcher to determine the effectiveness of the intervention by comparing pretest and posttest results of the Gratitude Six-Item Form (GQ6). The implication of this would be for these elderly to have an attitude of gratitude which will allow them to thrive and not just survive their day-to-day routine or activities.
