“Resilience, Death Anxiety, and Depression Among I “Resilience, Death Anxiety, and Depression Among Institutionalized and Noninstitutionalized Elderly” is an in-depth psychological study examining how living arrangements—either at home with family or in an institution—affect the mental health of older adults in Pakistan. Using standardized measures of resilience, death anxiety, and depression, the study compares 80 elderly participants aged 60+ to reveal how social environment, support systems, gender, and marital status shape emotional well-being in later life.
The paper highlights that aging in Pakistan brings increasing psychological challenges, especially as traditional joint-family systems decline. Institutionalization, though sometimes necessary, disrupts social bonds and can intensify loneliness, fear, and sadness.
Key Findings
1. Living Environment Strongly Shapes Mental Health
Noninstitutionalized elderly (those living with families) show higher resilience—both state and trait.
Institutionalized elderly exhibit:
Higher death anxiety
More depressive symptoms
Lower ability to “bounce back” from stress
This underscores the psychological cost of separation from family, loss of familiar routines, and reduced autonomy.
2. Gender Differences
Men show higher trait resilience than women.
Women show significantly higher depression, likely due to:
Social expectations
Economic dependency
Loss of spouse
Cultural norms limiting autonomy
Death anxiety levels are similar for men and women.
3. Marital Status Matters
Unmarried elderly experience significantly higher death anxiety than both married and widowed individuals—a striking finding.
Reasons include:
Social isolation
Cultural stigma of remaining single
Lack of emotional and instrumental support
4. Institutionalization Heightens Psychological Vulnerability
Elderly in old-age homes face:
Lack of privacy
Reduced meaningful activities
Less personalized attention
Emotional detachment from family
These stressors increase depression and deepen fears of death.
5. Pakistan’s Changing Family Structure is a Key Factor
The study situates its findings within broader cultural changes:
Erosion of joint family systems
Urbanization
Economic strain
As traditional support weakens, elderly mental health risks rise sharply.
Significance
This work is one of the few empirical studies on Pakistan’s institutionalized elderly population. It demonstrates that resilience is not fixed—it is shaped by environment, family support, and cultural context. The findings suggest urgent need for:
Resilience-building programs
Mental health support in old-age homes
Community activities and social engagement
Awareness about the psychological impact of elder abandonment
Overall Conclusion
The study concludes that family-connected living dramatically improves elders’ psychological well-being. Institutionalized older adults face higher death anxiety and depression and lower resilience, while marital status and gender further influence outcomes. Strengthening social support systems and promoting resilience can significantly improve quality of life for Pakistan’s aging population.... |
