SOCIAL RELATION AS A METHOD TO ENHANCE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL–BEING OF THE ELDERLY–A SOCIAL WORK INTERVENTION STUDY

Meera E. H.

Abstract :

The most ignored of all development issues is the population ageing. Ageing is primarily the effect of a two dimensional demographic change: on the one hand overall mortality declines, resulting in longer life expectancy; on the

other, declines in fertility result in decreasing the proportion of children and young adults in the population and, consequently, in increasing
that of older adults. The present study is an intervention type of research in a residential care home for the elderly women.
The main focus of the study is to know whether the social work intervention is effective among the elderly women for improving their social
relations, and thus the overall quality of life. Statistical techniques such as descriptive analysis and inferential statistics were applied to reach
the findings and conclusions.
