Hope: a relevant concept for geriatric psychiatry

C J Farran et al. Arch Psychiatr Nurs. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

The focus in psychiatry has been on treating people for hopelessness, as opposed to understanding more about maintaining hope. This study reports findings from a study of hope conducted with community-based older adults. A general linear model procedure was used to more clearly understand the relationships among hope and other relevant variables. This model is used as a basis for proposing an intervention model for maintaining hope in older adults.
