Abstract

|
The normal ageing process has biopsychosocial aspects. The successful psychosocial ageing means the integration and dignity by maintaining the quality of life with a good physical status, mental functions, and self performances through-out the old ages. For this, elderly individuals need the following fourdignity, money, proper medical services, and appropriate works to do. Ageing as a physical change is relatively unimportant compared with ageing as a psychosocial event, although physical losses are serious and will ultimately sacrifice the victims. To maintain active and creative ageing, we should have a positive attitude for ageing and preparing the adversaries from psychosocial ageing such as decreased cognitive functions, role deprivation, loss of dignity, and especially even death.
