Abstract

Aging is a natural and inevitable part of life that everyone will experience. Preparing for old age is essential to maintain a spirited and meaningful life despite the challenges, such as family struggles or illness, that many elderly individuals face. In Christianity, old age is regarded as a blessing from God—a time to find joy in His steadfast love and peace. This perspective encourages the elderly not to fear their physical limitations, trusting in God's ongoing care and protection. This study explores how the elderly can continue to work, serve God, and love others with unwavering faith until they are called to the Kingdom of Heaven. Employing a qualitative research method grounded in theories about aging and supported by observational data, the study reveals that the church plays a crucial role in empowering the elderly through active participation in church services. The findings emphasize the importance of fostering spiritual engagement and community involvement among older people to enhance their well-being and sense of purpose. This research contributes valuable insights for religious communities seeking to support aging members, highlighting the need for inclusive practices that honor and utilize the gifts of older adults.

Abstract

Depression is a common and serious mental health disorder that affects individuals across age, gender, and social boundaries. This study investigates efforts to prevent depression from the perspective of psychological benefits, using a survey method with a sample of 25 individuals aged 17–50 who have experienced depression. The research employs a multidisciplinary psychological framework including cognitive-behavioral theory, social psychology, and personality psychology to understand the root causes and design preventive strategies. The findings emphasize the effectiveness of developing adaptive coping skills, fostering social support systems, and enhancing public awareness through mental health education. Additionally, online-based psychological interventions such as internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) are shown to provide flexible and accessible support. A distinctive feature of this research is the integration of Christian faith-based practices—such as prayer, scripture reflection, and faith community engagement—as complementary tools to psychological approaches. These spiritual dimensions strengthen individuals' emotional and moral resilience, contributing to more effective depression prevention. The results also highlight that social factors are the dominant cause of depression (59%), followed by biological, psychological, and economic factors. The study recommends tailored preventive interventions that consider individual personality types, social context, and spiritual needs. Implications of this research support a holistic model for mental health prevention and call for further exploration into the interplay between psychological and spiritual resilience frameworks in mitigating depression.
