Psychosocial Changes in Aging Eldercare 2015 Psychosocial Changes in Aging

Defense Mechanisms Western Societies believe elders have less significance People who are now elderly grew up believing this- so they reject themselves Projection: accuse others of their own issue Displacing: replacing with false object Rationalizing: make up excuses for actions Compensation: make up for “old age” Denial: deny anything is wrong Withdrawal: isolate them self

Emotional Adjustment Personality Traits Become more pronounced Roles the elderly assume and the roles expected by society come into conflict Resident thinks he can dress himself, but young RN gives too much assistance: CONFLICT

Emotional Adjustment Change in circumstances = change in emotions Personality characteristics are an extension of what they were in youth Some traits have been concealed because they wanted to make a good impression Now they feel it is no longer necessary to hide jealousy and insecurity

Self-Image Old age brings losses Each influences the way a person perceives themselves Work is linked with one’s view of self In retirement, where will this come from? Physical Ailments Loss of vitality

Self-Image Many elders contribute to community through Volunteer Work White Females were most active Most work with peers Some work with youths Health Services Religious Work The most effective way is becoming a Role Model

Successful Psychological Adjustment Aging is a natural, progressive step in life Recognize the strength of wisdom Recognize the limitations of the body Interest in the here-and-now

Unsuccessful Psychological Adjustment Hostility Anxiety Self-punishment Defensive reactions Sensitiveness Aggressiveness

Mental Function In relatively healthy elders, frustration levels are common to those experienced by teens Desire for freedom vs. Desire for security These are both driven by Fear All people need: Basic needs (food, shelter) Security (safety) Emotional Connections (love)

Sexuality Hindered by: Loss of a partner Limited opportunities Society’s attitude Previous attitudes toward sexuality will carry through into old age
