Abstract

Mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and feelings of social isolation, frequently occur in older adults and often go unaddressed in community environments. This research aimed to assess the impact of an educational initiative delivered at the community level on enhancing the psychological well-being of older adults. A pre-experimental approach was utilized, employing a single-group design with measurements taken before and after the intervention. The program emphasized mental health awareness, emotional self-regulation techniques, and involvement in socially engaging community events. The analysis demonstrated notable enhancements in mental well-being. Participants experienced a reduction in depression from moderate to mild levels, decreased anxiety symptoms, and a marked improvement in their sense of social belonging, rising from low to moderate to high engagement. These outcomes demonstrate that a structured and targeted educational strategy can lead to significant improvements in the mental health of older adults. The intervention proved to be both feasible and beneficial in addressing psychological challenges in later life. Furthermore, the study offers valuable insights for public and geriatric mental health practices by presenting adaptable, evidence-driven approaches to promote healthy aging.

Abstract

 Individuals with mental health disorders frequently experience elevated levels of stress and anxiety, which negatively impact their overall well-being. Hypnotherapy has been explored as a complementary nursing intervention to reduce psychological distress, yet its effectiveness in psychiatric settings remains under-researched. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in reducing stress and anxiety levels among individuals with mental health disorders. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 80 participants diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, randomized into an intervention group (n = 40) and a control group (n = 40). The intervention group received six individual hypnotherapy sessions over four weeks, while the control group received standard psychiatric care. Stress and anxiety levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and ANCOVA, with effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals calculated. Results: Participants in the hypnotherapy group showed a significant reduction in stress levels (mean difference = -8.4; 95% CI: -10.1 to -6.7; p < 0.001) and anxiety levels (mean difference = -7.4; 95% CI: -9.0 to -5.8; p < 0.001) compared to the control group. The effect sizes were large for both outcomes (Cohen’s d > 0.8). Additionally, 90% of participants in the intervention group reported high satisfaction with the treatment. Conclusions: Hypnotherapy appears to be an effective complementary intervention for reducing stress and anxiety in psychiatric patients. However, given the limited follow-up duration and sample size, future studies should investigate long-term effects, cultural factors, and integration into nursing practice.
