Highlights
- The greater the resilience and successful aging, the greater the hope of hospitalized older adults.
- Resilience and successful aging are protective factors for hope in hospitalized older adults.
- Designing nursing interventions that strengthen hope in hospitalized older adults is important.
- Promoting resilience and encouraging successful aging from the early stages of life is necessary.
Introduction: The global population aging and the rise in chronic diseases pose challenges in the care of hospitalized older adults. Factors such as hope and resilience may influence their recovery. Objective: To determine the relationship between resilience and successful aging with hope in hospitalized older adults. Materials and Methods: A correlational-predictive study was conducted with 385 hospitalized older adults in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Validated instruments were used to measure hope, resilience, and successful aging. Data were collected by the principal investigator across all work shifts during the first half of 2024. Results: The mean age of participants was 70.65 ± 6,11 years, and 53.2% were women. The lesding causes of hospitalization were surgery (42.3%), acute illness (28.8%), and chronic disease (18.7%). Mean scores of resilience (76.34 ± 21.61), successful aging (60.76 ± 16.99), and hope (36.27 ± 6.64) were obtained. Resilience and successful aging were significant predictors of hope, accounting for 15% of its variance (p < 0.05). Discussion: The relationships found align with findings from other research. Conclusion: The findings suggest that strengthening resilience and promoting successful aging may help sustain hope in hospitalized older adults, providing a foundation for future clinical interventions.
