La relación de la resiliencia y la depresión en adultos mayores: revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project analyzes the relationship between resilience and depressive symptoms in older adults, a problem identified through practical experience in the clinical setting. To address this issue, a systematic review was conducted to examine the relationship between these two variables in this population. The findings demonstrated that resilience acts as a protective factor against depressive symptoms, promoting emotional adaptation, coping strategies, and psychological well-being in old age. Furthermore, it was identified that family support, social relationships, and participation in meaningful activities contribute to strengthening resilience. Based on the reviewed information, a fictional clinical case of an older adult with depressive symptoms was developed, including the reason for consultation, evaluation, diagnostic analysis, and an intervention plan from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. The project integrated theory and scientific evidence, promoting a clinical approach focused on strengthening protective psychological resources in older adults.
