  • Summary

    This chapter seeks to promote both awareness and understanding of evidence-based psychosocial factors that enhance well-being, adjustment, and recovery in older people admitted to hospital.

    The chapter begins by exploring ageing from biological, psychosocial, and existential perspectives. It then focusses upon the psychological sequel of illness and disability in this population and goes on to identify components of psychological well-being drawn from both qualitative and quantitative research studies that promote recovery in older people who have been admitted to hospital.

    The chapter also explores the role of culture, faith, and ethnicity in the well-being of hospitalised older people and concludes by highlighting essential components in the development of a positive, recovery-focused culture of care.
