Background and Objective: Mastering aging and having a successful old age mean not only not having physical and debilitating diseases, but also being mentally healthy, having good social activities and communication with others and having cognitive and motor skills. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of training of emotional self-control skills (ESCSs) on resilience in the Karaj elderly.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 40 elderly people from nursing homes in Karaj were randomly selected and divided into two groups: a) training of ESCSs and b) control. With the control group, a quasi-experimental pre- and post-tests design were used. Moreover, the ESCSs were trained in the experimental group in 8 sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours, while the control group received no interventions during this period. Both groups were assessed in pre- and post-tests using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), and the results were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Findings: The results showed that ESCSs training had an effect on increasing the resilience of the elderly in Karaj. Considering the ETA square, it can be said that 85.7% of these changes were due to the effect of the intervention or training of ESCSs.
Conclusion: The results suggest that ESCSs training is effective in influencing resilience in older people, and the skills of this training can be used to increase resilience.
