K. Lavanya, Dr. L. Umadevi

Abstract :

Psychological well-being is particularly relevant to older people for several reasons. The oldest-old are the fastestgrowing sector in society. As life expectancy increases and treatments for life-threatening disease become more effective, the issue of maintaining psychological well-being and morale at older ages is becoming more important. The present study found that non institutionalized elderly had high psychological well being than the institutionalized. There is no significant gender difference in psychological wellbeing of institutionalized and non institutionalized elderly. Significant difference was found in psychological well being between young old and old old of non institutionalized elderly population
