Background & Aims: Considering the many physical and psychological stresses in old age, it seems necessary to investigate the factors affecting the resilience and spiritual health of this group of people. For this reason, the present study was conducted to determine the components of spiritual health in predicting the resilience of older adults in Urmia City in 1402.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional correlational study, 180 married elderly individuals living in Urmia were selected through cluster sampling. The Spiritual Health and Resilience questionnaires were used in addition to the demographic questionnaire to collect data in this research. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 statistical software as well as descriptive statistical tests (mean and standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and analytical tests (Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression) at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.
Results: Multiple regression analysis showed that the three variables of existential health (p < 0.00001), age (p < 0.00001), and number of children (p < 0.032) can significantly predict the resilience variable. In other words, with an increase in existential health and age, there is expected to be an increase in the resilience of the elderly. However, with an increase in the number of children, the resilience will decrease.
Conclusion: The results of the present study can help health service providers identify effective resources for strengthening resilience in elderly empowerment planning. Resilience by creating better-coping strategies and defense mechanisms can enable older adults to address flexibility issues and be less exposed to mental and emotional disorders of old age.
