Objective: Given the increasing elderly population and the challenges and problems associated with this stage of life, social planning, and policy-making to improve the quality of life of older adults is of crucial importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being in older adults.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was of an applied nature and based on data collection through correlation. The study was conducted in 2022 in the city of Mianeh. A total of 319 elderly individuals (aged 60 and over) were selected through convenient sampling, based on inclusion criteria. The tools used to collect data in this study were the Glack Star Religious Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, and the Ryff Psychological Well-being Questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using correlation and path analysis tests with SPSS 26 and LISREL 2.10 software.
Findings: : According to the results of this study, The mean scores for religiositywere 56.90, resilience was 16.86, and psychological well-being was 76.04. The standard deviations were 26.42 for religiosity, 16.46 for resilience, and 10.81 for psychological well-being. The results showed that all correlation coefficients obtained were significant at the level of p < 0.05 or p < 0.01, indicating that high levels of religiosity and resilience are associated with higher levels of psychological well-being. Furthermore, based on the path analysis results and the obtained t-values (≥1.96), it can be concluded that all paths except for the indirect path to psychological well-being were significant. Therefore, the proposed model showed that the cognitive, emotional, and ritual dimensions of religiosity have a positive and significant relationship with psychological well-being through the mediating role of resilience, and there is also a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of religiosity and resilience, as well as between resilience and psychological well-being.
Conclusion: The findings of this study emphasize the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between religious components and psychological well-being, and the promotion of psychological well-being through this pathway. Based on these findings, it is recommended that community leaders pay attention to the impact of religiosity, resilience, and education in these areas in order to promote the mental health of the older adults. |
